Regarding your prediction about special teams at the end of the video, I think on paper special teams should be good, but in practice during the preseason it didn’t look good. I am somewhat hopeful that they can get it together when it matters with some extra practice, building chemistry, and adding players from Rockford later in the season.
Not happy with the Hawks line-up right now! Looks to me like they want to tank another season! What happened to the youth movement? Am I the only one that thinks that Murphy's career show be over? His decision making is horrendous! Though the other veteran D-man that they just signed, hasnt been horrible, they need to play the kids! Del Mastro hasn't played well, but he's a Blashell favorite, so they kept him! D should be Vlasic, Kieser, Leyshenov, Creviar, Allan, Korchinski … 7th D man is Matt Grz… & Ethan Del Mastro …. forwards … Lafferty & maybe Foligno need to go ! Reichel needs to get a real honest chance, to do something! They will regret trading him! Sorry … can't finish … gotta go!
A good team has strong depth. A strong bottom six forward group and a strong bottom 4 defense group is essential. We have a ton of these type of players, they will keep replenishing themselves at a cheap salaries under 3 million each for the next 7-10 years. This allows us time to find our top 6 forward group and our top two defenseman. Keep rebuild mode on. We will get better. BTW, we still need our 26-31 year old vets, good pros, to mentor the kids. Vets with middle 6 talent, on short term contracts, that can be flipped at the trade deadline for more picks. GMKD has easily been replenishing these type of vets off other teams surplus heap for cheap. Dickenson, Mikeyev, Foligno, Burakovsky, Bertuzzi can all be traded in the next year or two for more draft assets and still be replaced with cheap vets as we wait for Frondell, Brossvert, Moore, Korchinski, Levshunov, Kansternov, Greene; Lardis and future drafted players we dont even have yet to step up and take top roster spots.
