Did I miss a bunch of transactions where the Hawks were going to gain 40 pts to get into playoff contention? LMFAO I could see an improvement to 60-65 pts this year...not anywhere near catching anyone in the division. KD added a bunch of veteran NHLers this year, but all of them are washed up clowns....except Teuvo. They are better than the shit they are replacing, but not by much Bertuzzi is a clown but I don’t think “washed up” is quite right…yet. The vets will help the team be more competitive and help Bedard out, while letting the youngsters develop in the minors without ruining them. That’s all this is designed for. Much better than Reese johnson and entwhistle having full time spots.

Agreed. Though I am looking forward to (and hopefully it starts this year) that we can end the coddling of KD and start to hold his tenure accountable for that development. Other than Vlasic, not sure there is much to point to. Nobody expected Raddyish to be a throw-in, yet now he is gone for nothing.
One of the reasons they have gone heavy on vets ilia that there is not much to choose from at the farm. Just pretty much more of the same. Is all of that Stan”s doing? Rockford hasn’t exactly been lighting it up either.

This was KD’s 3rd draft so those 17/18 year olds from his first draft should start hitting Rockford this year. It will take 4-5 years to build up the prospect depth considering how bad it was at the end of Stund’s tenure.

How many new faces are there in the room compared to when Stan was there? Not wanting Stan back,but watching Korchinski “develop” this year reminded me of Stan at his worst. I know they were hamstrung somewhat with K not being able to go to Rockford, but was that best for the kid?

I know they were hamstrung somewhat with K not being able to go to Rockford, but was that best for the kid? At least he can go now. The excess of vets I think was half to let these kids he’s drafter marinate in the A without needing them to play. Korch might have been a mistake to stick around but at least it’s correctable now. There are a LOT of top picks that are coming soon, if not already, and the more seasoning they can get the better. KD I think becomes more “on the clock” after this season depending on how good or bad the season ends up being. If it’s really really bad again, then there’s questions. If they are reasonable better, then he will be scrutinized on his next improvement moves. It’ll be nice to have expectations again. As of the season after this one, I will.

Hopefully that's what was needed and done.

Mrazek is not in a contract year, so expect the return of Mrashit.

Amazing that most of Hawks UFAs got signed by other teams. I guess being a traveling 4th liner making 800k and up isn't a bad way to make a living.

Hawks had 52 pts last year. If every team scored the same as last year, the Hawks would pass 3 teams with 75 pts, putting them 5th. Not close to playoff contention. Now my head hurts, Good night. Are you going senile? If the hawks had 75 points, which they won't, they would still be behind AZ/Utah in the division, and in last place. 65 points would be a 13 point improvement from last year...and is aore realistic goal.

Sorry, Einstein. I went for draft order. #5 in the entire league. I don't see 10 more wins as an impossible dream. I don't see this lineup giving up as many cheap ones, FISHBOI!!! And no , I've never seen the Nile. Great! I think I just popped a blood vessel...

If 1/3 of the team changes, scratch whatever points were on the board last season. Those points don't carry over. Everyone starts from zero.
