<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeMcNeely</b></div><div>Can we at-least spell Del Mastro’s name right? Takes 2 seconds to get it right.
Rinzel, within most scouting circles, had a terrific season and has been viewed as a steal. Not a chance he isn’t in the league 5 years from now.
Nazar has all of the tools to be a 2C. Depending on who they take at 19, the Hawks could be staring at a foundation changing center position.
<strong>Bottom Line:</strong>
Davidson and Co. have to show discipline and not rush them through the system. That’s why guys have flamed out recently. Bowman was an imbecile and drafted guys who he could rush through the farm without proper development to try and help the terrible rosters he put together. The kids will be fine.</div></div>
Easy. Del Mastro was the product of autocorrect, terribly sorry for bothering you.
I 100% believe this assessment of Nazar is possible. As I said, he’s got all the tools, but I just pray he stays healthy enough now.
I can’t give rinzel a huge pat on the back due to the USHL, but I’m excited to see what he can do at the U of M. Time is totally on his side. I just don’t believe he’ll be in the league in less than 4 years. Period. I believe he will absolutely stay at minnesota for all 4 years of eligibility. Then spend some time in the A.

Reason for caution
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I don't have a ton to add. I think this is a pretty good and objective summary. I'm 100% sending Korchinski back to Seattle. 100% agreed that we need to correct the past failures and allow these kids to develop into 2-way players at the appropriate levels before bringing them to the AHL. On that note, that's why I'm ok with Rinzel's progress. I hope it continues, but gotta see it. Can't assume it. Also 100% agreed on Nazar. He'll go back at least 1 more year. I'm not as down on Allan as it sounds above. No illusions on my end that he'll be a Norris candidate. He could be a defensive Dman though. There are places in the NHL for that role for sure. It'll take time.</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>I have also been watching A TON of junior and college level games this year. I agree with some of the things you said, but I look at it from a completely different angle. They are still kids, and for where they are in their development, things are looking great.
Korchinski: He doesn't concern me much. The only thing that does concern me is all this talk of rushing him into the NHL next season. He absolutely needs to go back to junior. Not only is there no reason to rush him, but he needs to hone his defensive game and mature more. If he needs a defensively geared partner in the NHL, so be it. That's usually just how it goes in the NHL anyway. But, he definitely has the offensive skill to be in the NHL right now.
Nazar: I have some concerns about him, but they can all be explained away. He needs that full season under his belt next year, for sure. I need to see way more. He was also sheltered quite a bit after he came back from injury. Which I believe was completely intentional and necessary. Smart move by both him and coach Naurato.
Rinzel: Admittedly, he was not on my radar at all last year and was definitely a reach. But, I am not concerned about Rinzel at all. He is certainly a project, but he has natural gifts that are hard to come by and I'm not just talking about his size. He is positionally sound, a great skater, and an offensive flair without sacrificing much in his own end. If there is one thing I trust Minnesota to do, it is to develop and produce quality defensemen. Also, his brother is a body builder and a strength and conditioning coach for U. of Idaho. So, not only will he have his own college helping him with building muscle, but his brother as well.
Colton Dach: I think he has serious 3rd line potential with legit top 6 upside, if everything goes right. My only real concern is with him staying healthy. He went through like 4 or 5 fairly serious injuries this past year. But, if he can bulk up and learn to protect himself better, the sky is the limit. When he was used in a shut down role in Kelowna, he might have been the best in the WHL in that role. I don't think he was invisible at all, either. But maybe we watched different games.</div></div>
Love your assessment of rinzel. He is a rare breed of player talent and potential wise. I truly hope he has all those opportunities work out for him, be it his brother or u of m. Time is completely on his side.
Dach’s invisibility more had to do what I saw in the playoffs and memorial cup. Those moments when you hope these guys really step up. Dach had his moments, no doubt, but when he wasn’t on, he just couldn’t do much. Kinda frustrating, but of course, these are all kids, so it’s all about being patient.

Very true. Lindros has said he didn’t believe the ownership were serious about competing. I just wonder the same about bedard regarding the hawks’ moral standing. Granted the pathetic excuses for human beings are gone, save for rocky, but still……..

Let’s look at both sides of this:
To be fair, hawks fans have all had to swallow a great deal of pride because of the scandal. Kane and toews have even gone on record to defend stan bowman the person, which is just baffling to me. Yes, they committed crimes covering this up and those people deserve their own pit in hell. However, to his point, he cheers the players and that is an important distinction. We don’t have to love the people who run the team to love the players that represent it. Me personally, I hate everyone involved with the team now. I represent the side that is so disgusted I lost my complete love for the team.
Now the other side. I don’t care what religion, politics, etc. a person believes in, nothing breaks human instinct and emotion. While I was always taught “hate” is a strong word, I recognize a few things in life that inspire such an emotion. Sports is quite possibly the most significant. I don’t care if someone wishes ill will on another, especially if that other deserves it. The hawks truly deserve it. They ruined people’s lives. Plain and simple. Wishing that Ill will is not a defect of the person wishing it, it’s a reflection of someone wishing for some decency and good in the world.
Just my opinion. Neither side is wrong. Just passionate and opinionated.

What davidson should have done
There is literally nothing in the last three years that suggests Davidson will regret the Dach trade. Even if Dach becomes decent in Montreal, he’ll never be a superstar in line with 3rd OA. Dach’s development was ruined in Chicago, and that’s before mentioning he NEVER should’ve been taken at 3 OA. A clean break for both sides is fine. The return for cat is the decision that will haunt Davidson more than anything.

I’m aware of Colton, my philosophy in life is if you’re gonna dislike something, you better know everything about it so you have a valid or logical reason to do so. I have nothing against Colton whatsoever, but his last name makes him a victim of his waste of a big brother. So yea, combo of my love for beniers and my dislike for anything DACH.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>IconicHawk</b></div><div>Hasn’t even play two full seasons yet, injuries have taken its toll on him</div></div>
Due respect, that excuse is getting old. Time for him to take responsibility for those injuries and set backs. He acted like a child and begged to play in the WJC, then he gets injured in a WARM UP GAME, not even the tournament. He’s 6’4’’ and skinnier than a pencil, yet he never puts in the effort to fill out and get some muscle. Leaves him open to getting absolutely rocked.
Every hawks fan on this site knows I’ve hated this kid since before he was drafted, and that’s never changing. The least he could do is at least prove me wrong at some point. But nope, even this year with a full year under his belt, he’s nothing more than a defensive center with little offensive upside. I’m sick of the excuses, **** em.
