To see how Luke Richardson is coaching these kids. I'd like to see how Cole Guttman's and TRad's increased ATOI allows them to develop. Now that Ian Mitchell should be a permanent fixture...what can he do? Had to be frustrating not getting much ice time despite being brought up.

Bring up Vlasic vs signing Dumo.

I have bad feeling Mitchell’s days are numbered. By no fault of his own an undersized bowman D who is struggling by all metrics. Davidson has not been afraid to cut bait with bowman guys before and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him go unqualified.

I’m shocked he wasn’t flipped at TDL.

Also, good signing of Namestnikov. We can flip him at TDL for a 4th 🤣

I doubt Bertuzzi goes one year at that level. He'd just as well return to Detroit for that to play with his buddy Larkin.

Namestnikov is Russian for Stempniak

I sure hope not, but you are pointing out facts.

Mitchell scratched tn for Zaitzev... lol

Hawks will be pathetic to watch this year and next year, then things should get fun again. What KD has done with this asset pool is impressive imo. It will take a while, but hawks will be a power house again with time. Glad we're building this this the right way, not just stuck with a decade+ of mediocrity like many teams

We just can't give this kid consistency. Sucks. Zaitsev can sit for a year and a half for all I care.

That’s no way to treat your tank commander…

Wait… is Mitchell eligible for the AHL playoffs? I read they made a bunch of paper transactions so people can qualify and Guttman was someone who wasn’t “sent down” so he doesn’t qualify for playoffs. But I assume they’ll want Mitchell down there…
