Team: 2019-20 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 6, 2020
Published: Mar. 6, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Win a bunch and get 1 point out of playoffs. Lose a bunch and become sellers at the deadline. Win 4 in a row now 4 points out of playoffs with 15 to go. Maybe they’re a really good team who tanked at the right time? Granted there’s no way they’re a playoff team unless they do something ridiculous like win 11 of 12. They’re 4 points out of a playoff spot and still 8th worst in the league. Hopefully they can secure a top 8 pick still.

When this offense is on, it’s pure fire. Top 9 are all very good.

Lehner leaves and Crow wins 4 in a row. To be honest, I wasn’t impressed with Lehner especially for the money and term he’s going to want. I’m happy with Crawford.

Lines below for Detroit. Subban gets first start and Carlsson sits after hit to head. *EDIT* the lines are my opinion. Nothing official.

The west is really wide open right now and any team that isn't in California could get into the playoffs if they go on a run

Shame it looks like they probably won't get a top 8 pick. If I recall correctly, they've got a favourable schedule to finish off the year and if DeBrincat can get that consistent scoring touch back, who knows maybe they get a first round meeting with St. Louis. Or a series vs Lehner and the Knights o_o..

Little things like getting Kubalik on PP1, placing Saad on the PP, moving Strome back to C and finding lines that can work like Kubalik-Toews-Saad / DeBrincat-Dach-Caggiula makes the team so much better. I even saw Lucas Carlsson get power play time which I didn't think Colliton would do. Jules' impact since he returned from his concussion has been huge and I've personally liked Slater Koekkoek despite the poor penalties and a few bad shifts here and there.
Still every time this team shows promise, they come back down to earth. Even in their recent game, a horrible dump in attempt by Boqvist during a line change leads to a goal. Fifty one seconds later, Yamamoto scores in the slot. There are a lot of defensive deficiencies with the d core and chances are guys like Koekkoek, Maatta, Boqvist, Carlsson/Seeler/Gilbert won't fare well in the postseason.

Imo, Chicago could have been a playoff team if they didn't spend the first half of the season trying to figure themselves out. The team has been very inconsistent, Colliton's been disappointing and the injuries exposed their lack of depth this year. Anything can happen in a Hawks-Blues playoff series tbh but picking top 5 and adding a guy like Stutzle or Raymond is tempting. Or even selecting a d man like Jamie Drysdale who has a strong case of being NHL ready in fall could help.

The hard part for CHI will be jumping 4 or 5 teams is the standings when they only play 3 games (home and home vs MN and NSH) against them the rest of the season.

As long as you get a top 9 pick, you’ll get a great player.

Even the Hawks do get to a playoff spot it doesn't stop the fact that we'd be out of the playoffs in 5-6 games and that is if everyone plays at the same level of Toews or Kane. We're better off tanking than making the playoffs, plus would be a great way to prove that Bowman and Colliton need to go.

Yes, and at the same time I want Bowman's head mounted on my wall, lol. Honestly though I would love to see them win but I just want Bowman and Colliton out so bad, my hatred for the two of them is so strong after the trade deadline that I have not watched a game since last week Monday. I'm going to stop myself here before I go off on a rant.

I was a Bowman supporter because I think as many idiotic things that he’s done, he’s done equally brilliant things. But after this deadline when he could’ve actually gotten quality returns but didn’t, I’ve joined the bandwagon. I also think the talent is there to be a wild card team but the coaching system is terrible and he’s not pulling the right strings.

I unfortunately think we continue to see glimmers of hope which keeps buying the front office and coaches more time.

Oh without a doubt, and Bowman is probably the one who would get away with most of this and probably be there as long as his father is a part of the organization.
