I don't mean to be pissy and short, so please ignore me if I offended the conversation or any individual, but it's a "what if" scenario. To me, I see a shutout victory and move on to Vancouver. Like I said, ignore me if you want. - I Am The Breadman

You're not wrong about it being a what if scenario but coaches have to think in the what ifs.
Imagine how Hawk fans would react in the next game against Vancouver if the same play was made again and the Hawks did go on to lose. |

I do understand and can agree to a point, but the finger shouldn't be pointed at two wingers who were out-positioned by a good goaltender. If a 2-0 lead is blown, I'm looking at defense, team defense, passing, penalties, goaltender ... more than the two young players still trying to make their way in the nhl. I'm trying to give them a longer leash. |

Wait ... does that mean I shouldn't bring up the Kruger one on nobody WTF play?
Something worth laughing about after a win. I could almost hear Kruger doing a Curly "woop woop woop woop" as hes trying to figure out how to get rid of the hot potato. |

There seems to be a consensus among Hawks fans that it would be a good idea to trade Anisimov - not all fans, but certainly a goodly groundswell of sentiment in that direction.
Why? Why is it a good idea to trade Anisimov? I'm not against trading him but I'm curious what the objective is in trading Anisimov. He's not without value - he does some things pretty well and he seems like a good club house guy. Is it simply his $4.5M cap hit? I don't think that's out of line for a 3C and since the Hawks don't have a prospect ready to step into the 3C role I doubt there would be much of a net difference in AAV between Anisimov and whoever would replace him.
Thoughts? |

The main issue with AA is he only seems to produce with Kane. His cap hit is in line with what 3C are getting at this point. I am fine if they keep him or trade him for a younger option in that spot. So, the trading him for cap space is pretty much a fallacy. It won't be easy to replace that role without it costing the same, if not more, in cap space.
Now, about that 2 on 0.... |

The thing with Caggiula is he's more of a bottom-6 player but his wild hare game complements Toews/Kane so if the idea is to re-unite T&K, then Caggiula is probably the best third wheel for that line. If Colliton would rather spread the offensive firepower by separating T&K then I'd rather see Sikura play with Toews because Sikura has a better all around offensive game. - EbonyRaptor
I agree with this analysis. While Caggiula is an effective winger for Toews and Kane, he's not exactly a top 6 talent if you think of the long term and overall depth that the team should be at. One way to think about it is Caggiula would still be effective as a 3rd or 4th liner.
Sikura in comparison is a top 6 talent with his vision, hockey sense, and passing. Not contact averse and goes to tough areas. He wouldn't be an asset on the 4th line. 3rd line, yes, if the forwards are comprised of 3 scoring lines.
If he continues his upward trend the past few games, I could see Sikura surpassing Kahun on the depth chart despite having less points this season. I do like Kahun and like him in the top 9. However, he is prone to making bad passes, especially trying to tether cross ice passes that are easily intercepted.
I'll get flamed for this but I think Sikura is the 2nd best passer on the team behind Kane. A distant 2nd to 88 but still one of the best on the team. |
