Dominating juniors would be better than what happened last season followed by what he probably feels is a demotion. No one is questioning the skating but physically he was overmatched. There are dozens of dmen floating around willing to play for 750k so finding someone better than KK wasn’t the right thinking.

Last year they didn't have any better d-men. They don't this year...just older Sending Nazar down so a veteran scrub can have his job, is idiotic.

Kids can hone their skills in lower leagues, but when with the Hawks you aew expected to contribute. I think the locker room appreciates the mentality of trying to perform the best they can with the best squad they can put out today.

That will probably last about 10 games before they realize they suck still.

But is shitty vet x better than nazar?
I agree with Merpes that the hawks really believe they will be much better than the actually are.

The kids are the carrot. Bring them all up now and they fail, WTF do we have? Keep them down and have that wonderful thing called hope.

Best thing that can happen is Nazar plays excellent and is first call up, and shows them he shouldn't go back.
Reality: Taylor Hall won't play more than five games before getting hurt, so the Nazar demotion is gonna be a short one, no?

Almost guaranteed that Mrasuck returns now that he’s got a fat contract thanks to KD. I get that they are aiming for 2 years from now once Bedard’s ELC expires but they are going to need the youth in the minors to have really accelerated development for that plan to work.

Seth Jones being -100 as a Hawk and other players think they have to contribute to be on the big club? That’s funny.

Some real progress, gave up 7 last time, only 6 tonight. How can they have all these Vets that 'know how' and still get kicked around?

Reminded me of the Klemm-Aucoin-Lapointe versions of the hawks back in the day…lots of names added and they look much better on paper, and then you see them play and…yeah.
It’ll take a while for them to gel and they’ll look way better obviously, but it’s really bad.
Seth needs to go, he’s checked out…doesn’t know how to win because he never has. I doubt he can escape that cycle mentally ever.
And the fucking tv needs to get its shit together asap, the wild broadcast was horrid last night and their constant harping on how bad the hawks will be this year was an additional kick I certainly didn’t need watching that abortion. At least the home guys minimize the poor play without ignoring it.
