If the Hawks threatened to bury Seabs in Rockford, any chance he'd retire? Even if he's nominally better than some of their other 5-7 Dmen, maybe the threat would help move him out the door. Tell him they want to move onto younger players. I mean, there's zero chance that would happen. Even though the contract is widely seen as one of the worst in the league, I'm sure Stan is still defending it. And McEgo would hate the backlash from the "Authentic Fans"... Seems like a pretty shitty way to treat a guy who was a leader and key player in 3 cup wins. Definitely not the way to go, imo. Seabs will NEVER come back to be an Ambassador.

If you prefer loyalty than that's fine. But I think I can say without hyperbole that Seabrook and his monstrous contract could be the biggest impediment to the Hawks's ability to be competitive for the rest of the Kane/Toews "window". If you are OK with that, than fine, I won't quibble with you. At the end of the day, Seabrook could refuse to fall for the bait and be happy to take his $6 million/year while doing the commute to Rockford and that would be his right to do so. But if he's embarrassed by how he's gone from being a top 20 dman to a barely functional NHL dman, maybe it be the push he needed to ride off into the sunset.

Barely functional dman?
Koekkoek and Dahlstrom say hold my beer.

Nylander is 100% making this team. Already has a goal and an assist in the first preseason game.

They didn't trade for Nylander for him to sit in Rockford, he'll be on the team probably playing on a line with #19.

Delia in mid zeason form...just like the hawks d corps.
Seabrook is no longer an NHL dman.
Thst is quite possibly the worst deal in the league.
Nylander may make this team...that will just prove how far out of contention they really are. Wont say much about their prospect depth, either.

I can't believe some folks see Delia as anything more than organizational depth. He spends more time on his knees than Jim at a Catholic priest convention.

Nice defensive play by Dylan "god-tier sniper" Sikura on that Tom Wilson GWG. Looks like his defensive play is catching up to his goal-scoring ability.
Wilson also embarrassed Koekkoek earlier in the first period. These marginal guys can't compete against NHL talent.
But Nylander definitely helped his own cause by scoring and assisting one. Boqvist scored a beauty. But can he defend?
Delia made some big saves. The loss was not on him.
Tonight it's the Wangs. Must win game!

Let's see what is Kubalik's answer to Nylander and Saarela.

There should soon be some leaks about who is getting on that plane to DC. They're not gonna fly all 55 players there, are they? Everybody, with ejection seats for KK, Dahlstrom, Quenneville, etc... Hopefully it's not The Wirtz team plane from the 90's that could barely get off the ground.

Why are we worried if Boqvist can defend? None of the Hawks’ dmen can so what’s the problem?
