Agreed. Don't count him out but he is listed at 179lbs. I doubt he is north of 165lbs. He looks like a teenager (and was one until this year) and he really isn't adept at avoiding hits like Keith and Kane were/are. He gets pushed off balance a lot.

This is what happens when you play a 20 year old kid against grown men (albeit some of the injuries are just bad luck).

Sure he is getting nice experience but he could've stayed in JRs and worked on adding strength.

Guys like Kalynuk and Mitchell spent multiple seasons in college and in a college strength and conditioning program. Those extra few years make a difference from a physical development standpoint.

So lets see, this year Bovquist had COVID, he got a puck to the jaw that he was in concussion protocol but DID NOT have a concussion and a broken wrist. So in reality he had ONE injury this year. Dach , a much bigger kid got a broken wrist playing with 20 years old. So does that mean Dach should of been playing in juniors this year also?

My feeling in Bovquist showed he was much better to play in the NHL than Dach is this year.

For all the sturm und drang (look it up) here, it’s overall been a positive year.

This year’s team is better than last year’s, which was better than the previous year
Lots of very young forwards have gotten time and development at the NHL level
A few of the young D have gotten their feet wet, and shown some promise
An at least average NHL goalie and average NHL backup goalie have been identified

For next year, add a summer of growth and development of this year’s young players, add a euro signing, a free agent or 2, a healthy and rested Toews, a healthy Dach, another kid or 2 from Rockford (Entwistle) and the Blackhawks will be poised to take another step. Still don’t expect them to contend for the playoffs next year, but the trend is up. 2022-23, maybe is the year.

Getting smoked by TB at this point is not unexpected. TB can overwhelm many NHL teams.

What worries me is we know most of the young Forwards were getting by on hustle not talent. There may not be much growth hustle only goes so far? They will fill out and get stronger hopefully that translates into more positive experiences.

I think the Hawks man-to-man defensive scheme is flawed. The Islanders were one of the worst teams in the league defensively, and when Barry Trotz became coach and instilled his version of man-to-man defensive scheme, with very little or no personal changes, they are near the top of the league defensively. What could be so radically different in the Hawks scheme, that they are just as bad as when Colliton took over ? It all comes back to basic fundamentals. The Hawks need to stress the fundamentals and get better defensively as a team. It will help the kids progress and also help young goaltender trying to establish himself

Honest question....do you feel the Hawks have a playoff quality roster as constructed even prior to the deadline?

Some guys flourish getting information from player to player. I am sure when Bowman met with the core he spoke on this and to your point....2 of the most prized veterans have taken guys under their wing and helped them....

When the Hawks reach the 2007-08 watermark where they are on the verge of being a playoff team, young guys have ironed out the kinks, etc.......then we can look at JC with more of a black/white contrast......Remember, we saw in the previous regime that following a near miss in 07-08 and then followed by a slow start led to the firing of a coach and the hiring of a proven coach who started their run.....

IMO...hawks aren't near 2007-08 level yet.
- SteveRain

This!

Agreed...I just feel 16 and 44 are done....period. I don't think 16 could have flourished in Qs system. Colorado sold high on him and are reaping the rewards with Saad adding depth.
- SteveRain

Saad will only be a reward if they win the Cup. If not, he is one and done there, unless he decides to take a big pay cut.

No system could have saved the kiddie core defense.

- RaleighHawk

I see Saad $4-5 max depending on term and in the "$3's" would not shock me.

Hughes isn't exactly lighting the world on fire. -16 and is usually a mess in his own end. He is also an elite skater with elite speed. Boqvist is not. A lot of these highly touted youngsters aren't lighting it up. Look at Lafreniere and Kakko on the Rangers. Neither of them are really doing all that much.

I don't understand the rush to bring 19 and 20 years olds into the NHL.
- bhawks2241

He's putting up 0.76 PPG and is currently playing better than Dahlin in his own end from what I've seen.

There isn't necessarily a rush to get 19-20 yr old players in the league. In some cases it is necessary due to injury, salary cap, or lack of overall talent on the team. There are also cases where a guy is playing higher level hockey than the AHL or Jr, and nothing additional would be gained.

AB was playing very good defensive hockey before he got held out in concussion protocol. His offense was also starting to be displayed as well.

deHaan before the shoulder injury last year and when Keith was out, was playing as arguably the Hawks best defenseman. He has not even been close to the same since that point. Zadorov is just plain bad at Hockey, there have been a few games this season where, for him, he played well. In those games he would be regarded as average at best. Paying $3.5 or more for a guy that is average on his best days, and those are few and far between is a no. If he had shown ANY type of Hockey sense, booming shot, offensive upside, heck anything other than an occasional big hit, then maybe you would work with him based on size and potential, but he is just plainly too dumb and not skilled enough.

Agreed. Don't count him out but he is listed at 179lbs. I doubt he is north of 165lbs. He looks like a teenager (and was one until this year) and he really isn't adept at avoiding hits like Keith and Kane were/are. He gets pushed off balance a lot.

His injury has absolutely ZERO to do with being 20 years old playing against grown men. Please remind me how old were the guys Dach was playing against when he broke his wrist?

Just looked at the stats. Look at the numbers Keith put up as a 2nd year Dman in 2007-2008:

D 82 12G 20A 32P +30

Plus 30!!!

And Seabrook as a second year D:

D 82 9G 23A 32P +13

Hopefully Kalynuk, Mitchell, Boquist or Beaudin can put up those numbers and play at a level like these two guys did.

Even Wiz put up good numbers:

7G 19A 26P +12

Buff had 37 points as a Dman.

We were stacked with high picks Kane 1, Toews 3, Barker 3, Skille 7 and Ladd 4 (we acquired him for Ruutu at the TDL).

And had good complimentary scoring in Sharp, Williams, Lang and Havlat.

We still need time to get at that level.

You’re inferring that. Just because JC is HC, that doesn’t make him completely responsible for their development. There are other coaches and players responsible. Kane stays out on the ice long after the coaches are gone, working on things with other players. Remember Keith talking to young D during camp?

And you didn’t answer my question. Would you employ someone who failed 7 of 8 years?
- scottak

I inferred nothing. You said the team has gotten better each year. You've said the coach should go

Who said the coach was completely responsible for the development of the kids? I asked if he deserved ANY credit for that, and you are unable to give him ANY credit.

Would I have hired him? I don't know. But I do know that my analysis would've included a lot more than wins and losses; given where the Hawks were/are in the rebuilding process, developmental ability would've been a priority.

I took a break and read several pages and am talking to various posts /peopl and all of you.

Yup JC and all the staff should be congratulated because a boatload of young guys were fast tracked and got results in this system, with the guys in charge and love being Chicago Blackhawks.
We don't make the playoffs but isn't that what the minus Crow team was expected to do, not less the subtractions at vet star centre and young and hopeful to be a star centre.

This has been fun.
The trade line was fun.

The euros and kids have kinks in the armor.

Some will overcome them, some will develop.

In 10 years, the hockey term "defenseman" used and thought of up until expansion and after will take an entirely different form of job description.
teams will look for as many of the Hawk type attackers and add them based on their attack skills and toolbox, not how well they intimidate, crush, or provide edge.

Each younger defenseman saw how horrible NHL attackers can make you, but also saw moments where they could say, "I think I can get there and do this."

SOMETHING GOOD happened to our team, now more things must happen.

Any arguments with all that?

- Popsghostly

It is way too small of a sample size, but Kalynuk is 4/3/7 in 14 games and -2 on a poope team.

I'm most intrigued by what Mitchell becomes. Kalynuk, right now, has acquitted himself the best among the young D (looking at his overall game). I still think Mitchell has the ability to be the best of the bunch.

- wiz1901

Great point Wiz. An interesting development is how many of the Hawks young D have been able to at least battle in, if not actually protect, the crease. Mitchell does this pretty well, Kalynuk does well, and Boqvist at least interferes with the guy. They obviously all need more work in that area (and a few others), but there is growth and reason for optimism.

- Chunk

Agree with lots of stuff in here Chunk.

Kalynuk has really impressed me in his small sample size. He's really good on the rush with two really nice goals joining the forwards.

Mitchell impressed me a lot in his first 10 games or so and played with a lot of confidence. He lost his confidence a bit and didn't play the same. With a year here and in the Rock under his belt, I think he'll look better next year.

I'm not a fan of trying to get Savard. He's 30 and put up pretty bad numbers on a poor Columbus team and feel he'd be like a Murphy at the very best in our line-up. We should let the kids play mentored by Keith and Murphy.

Colliton says he doesn't think Boqvist will need surgery on his wrist, which is good news.

- Popsghostly

Boqvist just finished his "first" year.

Remind of who the bad, poorly run team was who gave up on Zadorov was? And I don't mean BUF. The one that traded him to the Hawks.
- HawkintheD

I did not say anyone gave up on Zadorov I would say Colorado traded from a position of strength that is a pretty stacked blue line .I said Florida gave up on Stillman and the rewarding him a 3 contract reminds me of the Delia signing more hope then sense .We shall see how Boqvist works out I hope for the best but hate to see the kid being rushed for no good reason and suffering injuries that will no doubt affect his progression

There is growth and reason for optimism.
- Chunk

Here is where my optimism always comes from.

These are my ranks if I was selecting, not trying to fill the hawks needs with more defenseman or RWs:

I don't think he's allowed to just post a link anymore.

YOU asked the right guy as he was going to go delivery soup as part of my soup ministry.

I think that this will the toughest draft to get 32 correct first rounders as the this one (called weak, hard to evaluate, etc.) has a load of kids that can play make impact into
that second.

An example is the Steel's Mackie Samoskevich, who started out a first rounded, and the everybody loved teammate Matt Coronato both who could go in the first.

I just looked at the list and if I simply subtract RUSSIANS (because there are variables that I don't control or are privy to),
and I see at least an unheard of 48 prospects whom a team might select.

(I said earlier this year here that maybe the Hawks take Colton Dach if they were IN the playoffs and let him percolate and develop).

There are plenty of players with upside that I have in my second that may be selected in the first. https://www.lines.com/nhl/drafts

The Blackhawks #61 ;'s brother is there RW Chase Stillman, and he is good.

I wouldn't be surprised if goalie Sebastian Cossa gets taken in the 1st.

Or giant 6' 6 Samuel Helenius ('member his dad?)

Scott Morrow is a sleeper who easily could go.

To me the real part of "sleepers" in this class areal the guys left around the hawks pick.
Every night I mentally go through it.
I am not even thinking about wishful thinking drops from above;i am talking about will be there guys.
Read my profiles you decide who you like but into the 20s there are players, who in time, may play into on a level of the top second their guys.

And as I also have said the entire first 4 rounds might yield slip-through guys that inferior NHL scouting staffs had farther down on their lists...

I like thuis draft.

(frank) I’m glad he didn’t want to share war and peace with us.
