Let's rank the Hawks D-Men!

[Merpes]

Stan got Krys under contract. Will report directly to Rockford and his ELC doesn't kick in until beginning of next season. I'm guessing he sucks because if he had a pulse, he'd be defaulted into the Hawk's top 4 and he would have had Stan over a barrel with a NMC right out of the gate.

5 Gustafsson

Well, players are ineligible for no movement clauses on their first contract, but dont let that stop you.

I am forcing you to slot Koekkoek where you think he will end up.

1. Keith
2. Murphy
3. Gustafsson

*gap*

4. [hopefully] Koekkoek
5. Jokiharju

*gap*

6. Seabrook
7. Dahlstrom
8. Davidson
9. Forsling

Ideally Koekkoek is good enough to beat Dahlstrom for a top 6 spot. Realistically he might fall in that same 5-9 d-men limbo among the rest of the scrubs. But if Koekkoek can hang, I want Colliton to use:

Keith - Jokiharju
Koekkoek - Murphy
Gustafsson - Seabrook

Because it's also stupid to play Jokiharju on his wrong side.

Two months later and Koekkoek is basically the worst d-man on the roster. Davidson is not even on the roster anymore, but I might still take him over Koekkoek. 

The Hawks have three NHL-worthy d-men, and then not much else. Jokiharju should take that step in the next year or two, so that's four unless Gusto gets traded.

Something needs to be added. Hawks defense is the worst in the league.

How did you ever figure that out???

Krys played well in a good league, I'd say let's give him until camp before ripping him.
