Well Toews is at least on somewhat of a fourth line (if they numbered the lines of course)
And the problem
With that is there are two fourth lines there.
Tenth place here we come!

There's a 4th liner playing on 3 out of the 4 lines....

I don't like how he stacked 3 centers on line 2. Should space that out more.

As long as they win games.
But who's on the PP, and who is running it? Dineen is an apparent hockey imbecile and is on a 1-for-17 run (29th in the league overall). I can't imagine the players themselves running it with a worse record.
A couple more PPG's could have earned the team some points. How about tackling that instead of shuffling the lines?

I guess Toews is the highest paid player in the NHL this season based on salary.
Stanley has done gone fucked up this franchise big time.

I know Dineen played mostly in the 80s when scrubs were putting up 80-90 points a season (which he did), but my question is in what universe is Kevin Dineen a PP coach? I understand Ulf being the PK coach and look how good it is. You need an offensive mind to be the PP coach. Under Q, the Hawks haven't had a single assistant that I would consider to be an offensive mind at all. Fuck, for the 1 million Hossa is getting paid to be on vacation, he should be behind the bench and running the PP.

Kinda amazing that no Asst Coach has been able to consistently get any PP success for the last few years... |

While there are indeed way too many 4th line players on the roster, the 'core' predominates PP time. Reality check...it's 29th of 31 in the league. One would think that this vaulted group should know how to put PP points on the board by now and given what they're paid. Yet, they almost seem more obsessed with controlling the puck than scoring. It's as if they're more fearful of losing the puck than of not putting shots on net and scoring. All their misguided weaving around with the puck on the perimiter & playing catch. Pointless. Sadly, the simplistic 'can't score if you don't shoot' view could be beyond Q and his minions. 10th place and sinking. Pray the hockey gods intercede ... as leadership, talent, strategy & execution are in short supply on this 2017-18 Hawk team.

Hawks don't even have a core anymore. Only player that I would put in it right now is Kane with Crow a close second. Hossa is dead. Hammer was never really in the core. Toews, Keith, and Seabrook have all hit the wall. Saad was a nice compliment to a prime Toews and a still solid Hossa, but he simply can't carry a line. It's not his game. Hawks have a long road ahead of them. Not only do they need to get the suck on to get better draft picks, they have to either find ways to trade 19 and 7 or just let their contracts run their course which will be painful as getting bent over with a dildo wrapped in sandpaper.

Keeping Seabrook & Toews is actually a good way to tank in the future.
