Appreciate the honesty. Maybe someone can provide a sneak peek of which one of these guys are already overrated, or perhaps who will be the next board whipping boy.

On another note can we bring back any of the following for cheap?

Martinsen
Schmaltz
Jurco
Kero
Weisz
Svedberg
Sanipass

Considering the Hawks are expected to be monumentally bad this year, I'm not sure you can really assign anyone as a whipping boy unless someone like Kane, Toews, Domi, or AA just go off and carry the team to a bunch of wins they don't want.

Outside of that, If Murphy is still on the team, he is likely the guy.

Reichel's already Sikura.

Tell your friend that obviously anyone drafted by the Hawks is a bust and must be traded for more draft picks and cap room.

Anyone traded is always traded with the expectation they will be reacquired at a higher price and traded again for less.

I will not repeat feet, but...

The attack skills are different. Reichel is much more comfortable in wall traffic making quick decision in the thick of the battle areas off the net and wall.

Frankie Nazar is an attack the middle offense shooter and generator who disrupts in the middle of the attack zone and everywhere else.

On a very different and more serious note, two NHL players / hopefuls who were part of the Canadien governments investigation into the Canada's 2018 junior team involvement in alleged sexual assault by several of the players.
Conner Timmins says aware, not there.
So has Victor Mete.

So far no statements from the two new Tampa traded Blackhawks Taylor Raddysh and Boris Katchouk.

What a tragic mess, i guess the only way to identify the players the witness would have to come forward or the players would have to confess.

Another thought i have is, as someone mentioned our forward pool is pretty weak, they really drafted best available on their board, Korchinski, i think if the Russian was still there he would of been selected instead of Rinzel. I hope this continues, i thought for sure the 1st pick would of been a forward or the 25th.

That is where I think Bowman went wrong. When Bovquist was picked, we theoretically were weak on the backend in the pipeline, so he picked a defenseman (a small one to be the next Duncan Keith). For Dach, he wanted to be the next Toews, instead of Byram cause he thought he had a pipeline on defense. You draft the best player available, If you do end up with a surplus at a position, you use that to trade for a weakness (which I guess Bowman was doing in the Joki for Nylander trade)

You’re talking to the head whipper of Murphy right here, a job I’m happy to take until some other team wants a refrigerator dragged up and down the ice.

Edzo not coming back as the Blackhawks analyst. Keeps his TNT gig, and is looking to hook up with another team.

I would not be surprised if DAVIDSON is interested and curious how Jake Wise might turn out. Perhaps lukewarm, a prove yourself with a good season at Ohio State.

Well I would veture to guess that Wise has rekindled Davidson's interest to a point. This kid has ability but does pan out as a solid two way 2nd or 3rd line

Another season, his second trial so to speak to stay healthy and impact the Buckeyes success.

I am cheering for this kid though because his background suggests he has the pedigree. Yet just to attain what level

Coming to Hockey Esst as a freshman. at some point in youth hockey he was a goal scorer and big time talent

I don t know the details where he was at in his hockey development or even in life itself
Yet injuries had a major impact in his stint in Hockey East. Sometimes in life and in sports you go through seasons with peaks and low points in the valley of life

Not each player after finishing junior as a productive scorer, is turning out to be an offensive force at the higher NHL level

And or you can also say, a player may have a season or a few with really good numbers but otherwise an average not big scoring career. Even more of a checker. With no intent to go off in a tangent in another subject not really connected, often skating decline when a player slows down. I like to recall a vereran whose NHL career was.very average for many seasons: Phiioe Boucher

His slapshot helped him generate some impressive offensive stat's mid career. He is probably therefore best remembered as large size dman for Dallas for several seasons around 2007 or so who blossomed that way. He played first on LA and Pittsbugh.

Anyway I am thinking Wise might turn out better than perceived as he struggled at BC.

Davidson has to sign him or loose his rights. Is there a spot or can he replace someone given the organizational contracts allocation (50). Might be worth a cheap sign.

Altybarmakian was a maybe. Barret I think makes the NHL. But Wise could (emphasis added) become better offensively when you look at borderline talent. I give him the opportunity with a contract before a strong season at Ohio State results with his sign as a free agent elsewhere

So did I , but it was probably Cutter Gauthier if available.

I was surprised but totally under stand bigger long defenders who are excellent stickhandler and quick carriers may have passed drafting under-giant elite centres.

They deferred on the two smaller scoring Finns and even Marco Kasper who is big and plays big, but there is a little less upside.

Every teams scout thought that there were really MAYBE four defenesman that when taken in the first round were not long term developments with high risk factors.

The more and more I think about Sam rinse and the four years at least they wait, well, it might be really worth it if he works hard to justify being a first rounder. He has to be a carrier, and get more snarl and use it and make impact as an NHler, and maybe he can.

I bet they would have scooped Pittsburgh's choice Owen pickering if he was still on the board at 25.

JHawk, wow, never use 100 words when 1000 will say the same thing....

Wise went to BU not BC.

Cap Friendly may be wrong on when the Hawks have to sign him by. The rule is 30 days after his NCAA eligibility ends. If Wise is committed to playing at OSU, then Hawks rights should expire 30 days after his last college game. If he signs a ELC before then he is no longer eligible for NCAA play.

Does he hate his Homelife?

Why tell me why, he would want to add an out of Chicago color analyst job ?

I do not know if the canned him, or he decided he could make more elsewhere?

I mean, how much $ does he need to lose at the racetrack?

And how much money to be on the road for both away games on TNT and another "home city" and at "home?"

Since college players can get paid now i wonder if this will change in the NHL.

I think they can only get paid for their marketing rights to remain an amateur, not for signing a pro contract.

Thats correct. "New" rule says they can get paid for their NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). So for stuff like social media, autograph signings, etc. There will be plenty of ways guys figure out how to monetize stuff, but signing with a pro team is not one of them.

Ottawa is looking for a veteran defender.

Too bad Connor Murphy is still on IR because the Senators can make nice on KD be repaying us with Ridley Greig fro him....but I doubt they are moving the defenders in place since that would make them even more comical this season.

Is there a rule against trading a guy on IR?

It would seem not considering all the Seabrook, Hossa, Pronger, etc. guys who were traded while on IR.

I think you're right. But i imagine they will act as a middle men for their draft picks to make some extra cash while in college.
