McKenna is not the only prize in next years draft
Happy for Sƶderblom šøšŖ š¦
C+. Would've been a solid B to B+ if they got their original target at coach. I like the theory of playing the kids, but they needed to add a top line winger to play with Bedard.
Go Blackhawks!
Quit talking about the Sox. They have a dinosaur owner like the Hawks had Bill Wirtz!
Is there a grade lower than āFā cause thatās what it would be.
Hawks will be lucky to win 20 games this coming season.
There's no reason to think otherwise
rip ryno!!
Everyone is clamoring to offer sheet McTavish when the way to get him, if you want him, is via trade. The offer sheet WILL get matched, and if by the extreme rare chance it isn't, which it will, you lose the legit shot at McKenna and Verhoeff. Pieces are there to build a tempting trade package, but the question is if it'd be tempting to the Ducks.
You guys are notcreakiayic ..There is no way KD's statement that tge keys are being handed over to the kids is true for tge Forward group…
On D yes…5/6starting Dmen are yutes. ONLY MUROHY is an "old" vet.
But up front tgere are EIGHT "old vet" forwatds ubder cobtract that will start in tge top 12 forwards…
Donato Burakovsky TT Bertuzzi Foligno Dickinson Lafferty and Mikheyev
Tgere usconlyvroom forc4 yutes in the starting 12 forwards…
Bedard and Nazar are kicks and I think Dach and Reichel wil lbe given the other 2 to start and prove they belong not in a bottom six roke but as top six material…Uf tgse 2 fail or one of them fails on line 2 woth Nazar after a long rope (at least 20 games ( then their future as Hawks is doomed and they will not finish the season in Chicago..but they SHOUKD be given an honest chance.
So to say that tge Firward Group has been turned over to yutesxus False when only 1/3 of the starting 12 are yutes..It still is heavily vet dependant this season!!!!
Sure we want Bedard and Bazar to produce even more…4 of tge top six forwards Shoukd be yutes (Brdard Nazar Dach and Reuchel) and so if they hold the keys of tge forward group as top six guys,tgat us true But as an overall 12 forward group it's heavily vet populated…
We do howver expect line 3 and 4 al vets( to be solid contributors abd not beibg defensive liabilities.. we need the to be at least close to Even in 5×5 else this team is doomed to be bottom 2 orx3 again….
Somebody up front will get i Jared..
13th F is Slaggert who sgoukd get the replacement role if tge injury is to a bottonsix forward…Of it is to one of the top six,tgey will call up a replacement from Rockford .
Question for fans who are mad about this yearās FA. How do we attract those FA to this team without having a losing season? If you fans are so desperate to improve I would love to read what you have to say because itās basically the easiest question to be answered.
Greg, please tell me you're joking when you say you hope the Hawks trade the 1st round pick because you're tired of hearing about McKenna…
Huge fan of the Gold Plan! Wish the NHL would implement it.
I am so happy for Soderblom
