Thread: 2024 Starting Lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Simply my opinion. Seems to perfect not to happen. The 1st overall pick going to the newest NHL city to help kick start ticket and merch sales.</div></div>

It seems like they'll be fine. They've already sold over 6,000 season tickets. They have the entire Jazz fan base to get on board, and in a dry city that needs entertainment. haha. They didn't do it for Vegas or Seattle, either. I guess we'll see, it would be perfect, in theory, but even if they do win, I still doubt it is rigged. Completely unbiased third parties that I trust to give an honest accounting of the situation confirmed to the best of their ability that the lotto is legit. That AZ/Utah pick is still in pretty great position to win the lotto without help from anyone.

Thread: Making tough choices for the future
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hawksguy81</b></div><div>Even if the Hawks were ready to move on from Reichel (which they aren't), a pint sized LD is the last thing they'd want back in a trade. Easiest of declines.

And funny how you don't see Frost as a good fit playing for Torts, but that Zegras would be.</div></div>

Jesus, you guys are brutal about the Reichel thing. I took the damn trade idea from a Hawks fan lmao

As for the Frost/Zegras thing, I've realized people grossly misunderstand Tortorella the last couple of years. He's been more than fine with players who don't defend particularly well and play with skill so long as they work hard (which Zegras does, I don't think he gets enough credit for that). Everyone thought he'd hate TK and Tippett, when in reality he absolutely loves both of them. With Frost in particular, he just has a weird bone to pick that I don't think anyone truly understands
