Fun game, Canada - USA. High drama with the finish. Lafreniere scores the GWG right off the faceoff, seconds after the Americans had just tied it, late in the third. Sweden beats Finland with 4 seconds remaining in OT. Czechs hold the Russians off and celebrate as if they just won WW2. Lafreniere couldn't have done w/o Miller's Steeger pass across the slot.

Quinton Byfield... Anyone have any info from watching this guy? NHL Radio guys were drooling over him yesterday. Sounds legit.

Big kid...legit combo of skating and puck skills. Hed be a great, not good, addition. Projected to give Lafrienier a run for top pick overall. Likely a Dach with a higher ceiling.more of a goal scorer than Kirby and slightly more meat already on a similarly huge frame. A legit lottery pick. www.eliteprospects.com/player/503020/quinton-byfield

I get a feeling the Hawks will need some more luck to pick top 3 again. As lousy as this team is I get the vibe they will make a short but winning run to finish out of the bottom 5. Which, in this kind of year, is unfortunate.

Which, in this kind of year, is unfortunate. Yes and no....this team is pretty brutal minus DeHann/Shaw (who knew guys with significant recent injury history would breakdown?), & Saad. It would be criminal not to use LTIR capspace and move some guys at the deadline and get even worse at hockey. Gus should have been traded over the Summer for maximum return, but still has no future in Chicago so whatever you can get he should go. I'm fine with Saad going if the return is good as he is one of the few moveable pieces that could bring something decent. At this point, I would be content trading Lehner and handing corky the bottle and some lines and push the tank into top gear. This franchise as constructed is a couple years off from being a legit contender (and I don't mean just squeak into the playoffs and lose to real contenders) if a lot of things fall into place.

Thing is can you even count on DeHaan for the remainder of his deal? Seems like that shoulder is held on with duct tape.

Which, in this kind of year, is unfortunate. Detroit will only have 18.5 % chance of landing #1 pick. 50 % chance of a top 4 pick. Right now the odds say that the Hawks are most likely to pick 7th. www.tankathon.com/nhl/pick_odds

...and as far as that list of WJCcdraft-eligible prospects listed earlier, there are only six names on it. Not that the Hawks won't get someone decent around number 7, but there's less of a chance Stan fucks up the pick if he has a chance to draft in the top 3-5.

A couple years away from being contenders? Sorry man, but what brand of glue are you sniffing? They havent even completed the teardown yet. They have no top 3 scoring threats or top pair dmen, or a starting g in the entire system. They are looking at 4-5 years minimum, and need to get lucky in the drat lottery. Hawks are ranked very poorly for their prospect pool...with little depth or top end potential.

Canada are done...gutless faggits.
Their D has been shit 2 days in a row and they have Crawford in net.
Lafreniere is finished, so they have zero chance.
