I'm thinking that both Gustafsson and Forsling can fill the Leddy skates, though in the former's case while taking more time and years to do so. They're probably both as good in their own end today, though that isn't saying much. Better in their own end would be ideal.

eeekkk.... i dont think any of this crop can put together leddy like numbers offensively...
i think leddy would be marginally better defensively here even with the talent depletion since his departure.

A team should just ice 3 defensemen whenever Leddy plays.

Icehogs play 13 games in November, 3 of them at home. They currently sit 4th ( out of 8 ) in the Central.

Hawks prospect pool looks pretty dry. Especially for forwards. There are some d-men, but no top level forward talent in the pipeline at all. Might want to fix that before the next generation of d-men come of age, or they'll be wasted as well.
I still think Kane could fetch that next building block, a future top line forward.

Boqvist playing really well for London as of late. Hopefully he is adjusting to NA ice.

Stan has masterfully maneuvered this team to be drafting in the top 5 for the next few seasons so the prospect pool should improve dramatically in the near-term. Plus, the Hawks will be net sellers during this stretch so they will be stockpiling young assets/picks in addition to their own draft capital. Still, we are looking at a 5 year turnaround at the earliest. Given this timeline, the Hawks' best tradable assets are Debrincat and Schmaltz. There is no reason to keep them around since they will be making too much money on a lottery team. Really the Hawks' goal should be trying to bounce off the cap floor. Colliton is just a placeholder and will be fired end of next season.

Rocky should hire Jon Gruden as senior advisor, btw.

You'd have to be pretty fucking dumb to pay a playoff invoice this year.
Hold on, let me get my credit card.

Best case scenario for Rocky is sneak into the 8th seed and get swept by the Predators.
Totally worth it.
