No doubt Rocky is taking into account Q's salary and term remaining...what with no playoff revenues for the last 2 years.

Lol. I guess I'll have a lot more free time next season. Because I won't be watching this awful hockey again... I think it's been said here previously, but just to reiterate (even as someone who is anti-fighting these days):
Last time the Hawks sucked, we at least had the gong show that goons were able to provide as entertainment. However, in the time that the Hawks have spent at the top of the league, enforcers have gone extinct in this league. There will be no sideshow to provide additional entertainment. It's just going to be shitty hockey, and that's it.

Yep. Soft, slow, boring, stick-waiving, shitty perimeter hockey... I can get my fill of that by watching beer league games at the bar after my games. Hell, some of those games have more snarl and more urgency/intensity than some Hawks' games.

Status quo is fine if they made an effort This year to try n fucking compete... fuck, you threw this year away hoping conky would come back. Made 0 moves. Fell apart(Not that they were cruising to home ice but they had a shot at em) now you're seeking is everything will be fine ?
I like some of the youth forwards. The d isn't close, a huge huge hole at the most important position?
I guess we'll see how July goes but this team needs several pieces to even contend for a work card spot. Plus they need saad, and toews to have much much better seasons. Which could certainly happen. But fuck a lot of maybes and what ifs.

Q owed $12 million for 2 years. Nuff said. But how much money is Rocky going to lose due to Q's lackluster coaching style? When the talent was A+, Q's deficiencies didn't matter. But now, they are glaring weaknesses. And Rocky seemed to understand before the Cups that to fully cash in, he needs to spend money. Now, he seems to have fallen back on his father's tendencies to be cheap at a moment where bringing in a new staff could help him make a ton of playoff revenue.

Or was McD put on notice that if this isn't straightened out him and his minions will be gone, so thus he hung onto Q and Stan

It doesn't really matter who's coaching next year, if that's the only change you make. This team is not going to be able to compete.
The only way they'll get back on top is by changing management, coaching AND players.

I'm no analytics major but I've said this before, the data shows: 2015 Cup 2016 1st round exit 2017 swept shutout 2 games at home. 2018 no playoffs. yeah that's called a downward plunge. No Masters in statistics needed to see that. But the same clowns are back being asked to fix what they F'd up. Not going to work is it?

We likely won't have to pray for a slow start next year....Perhaps McDLT/Stan will pull a 'Savard-switch'? Yah, right.

The defense is the most confusing aspect. It's so obviously horrible, but they already re-signed all of them???

A lot of this,season makes no sense. Which makes status quo for next season even harder to believe.
