QUESTION OF THE DAY — What Was YOUR Reaction To Matt Grzelcyk Getting A Contract? Also, How Many Points DO YOU Think Frank Nazar Records This Season?
I think it's a safe signing gives rookies time to kill it Rockford till they can't stay up there and Nazar gets 47 points 21 goals 26 🍎
I wonder if they play crevier more than grzlecyk
Next year is the year. Frondell and Kanceroff. And Mckenna. Lol I wish.
HAWKS WIN !!
and Nazar will score more goals than Bedard this season, maybe 32.
I don’t know why I just don’t like Ryan Greene
If Matt G. Outplays our young d that could be concerning!!!! I would have prefered a better d for our guys. We will see !!!!
I think Bedsy and Frank both dominate and get 70 points or more
It’s important to remember that it’s never a bad idea to have experience waiting in the wings. Didn’t have a bad year last year in PIT. Can’t just have all 20-22 yr olds + Connor Murphy back there. Key point of this is that’s it’s a 1 yr. deal.. 🤷♂️
I think Greene, Moore and Allan will be called up before the end of the calendar year. And maybe Lardis if he’s finding the back of the net consistently.
Why does it seem like the Hawks always open the season against the defending champs? Lol
Allan should be here over Del Mastro. I think thats my biggest issue and its pretty obvious he had a better camp. The others I understand. Nothing wrong with playing a little in Rockford.
Alan definitely earn the position but let's hope Grzelcyk plays well enough to get us a mid-round pick come Olympic time
Moore, Lardis, Allen, KK, Frondell, Kant, and Sasha all will be up at various times this year. It will mean lots of vets will get moved.
Frankie 28:g 32 A
Connor 35G 55 A
Reichel for Robertson
Oliver Moore needs to be groomed to be a top six guy. We tried that with Reichel and it hasn’t worked out unfortunately. We don’t need Reichel as a bottom six guy we got plenty of those. Next man up Oliver Moore. Blackhawks missing top 6 homegrown players. Moore has the top 6 raw skills and it needs to be developed in Rockford. It’s not gonna be developed at the NHL level. Ryan Greene is going to be nothing more than a good third or fourth line guy. One can argue that he’s almost already there. So for a temporary plug-in Ryan Greene is fine to be called up in the spot. Blackhawks need to find out if Oliver Moore is going to be a top six player if not, he can always jump down to a third line winger. We need to find the top six players. next up Frondell.
