Makes no sense the hawks don’t get a pick or prospect. Also hawks don’t need cap dumps now lol

Thread: Hello this is Ken

Hawks have all Buyout/retained salaries on books done by next season. No way they take on 4 mil for Campbell for that long. Window opens in 2 years and they don’t want dead cap like that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Disagree with your ratings. More like a scale of 1 to 5. 3 being average and that's about where Gus was at the end of the season, maybe 2.5.

A 1st liner doesn't have to be a defensive d guy. Karlsson is a good example; he's not much more then a 3 defensively BUT he's a 5 offensively.

It's about pairing guys correctly. Why two slow footed defensive shutdown guys should not be on the 1st line together either. Ideally you have a stay at home guy paired with a offensive D guy to transition the zone and play up in the O zone. Same thing with the way Bouchard and Boqvist were paired with the Knights. Boqvist is a nightmare on D....way worse then Gus, but paired correctly he was a breakout talent and people are calling him the next Karlsson.</div></div>

This is an awful argument. Please go to hockeyviz.com. Go to Chicago and see who Gus player next to most of the season. Answer is Keith. Keith has become a stable stay at home dmen. While you bring a great argument, Gus played with stable d most of the year. I think a Gus-Murphy pairing is optimal on many fronts. But what do I know. What do we know. Lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rusty_Shackelford</b></div><div>No. He signed for the signing bonus. He even said himself he has to get stronger and better in the neutral AND d zone. The Hawks talked to London about possibly switching him to Forward and they're contemplating sending him back to London.

Nowadays I've learned reporters report less than they speculate. Whether it's Turcotte or Byram I don't think there's a wrong choice.</div></div>

To each their own. Bo has a legit shot at making this team next year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mhockey91</b></div><div>Hawks are already loaded at D but I agree, he is the most NHL ready outside of the top 2.

Byram-Boqvist

Man hawks have a loaded group of D prospects</div></div>

Big problem is Keith and seabs jamming it up. Will be interesting to see what happens with expansion draft. I’m all in on scratching seabs lol. Piss him off and get him to waive his NTC. Byram had Niedermayer numbers. Not saying he will be the next Niedermayer but the stats are the stats. Think you gotta take a potential stud d who’s falling to three because we potentially have the next Crosby vs. Ovi in Hughes and Kakko.

Word is that Byram is *potentially* NHL ready. Bo signed last year for the strict reason that he has a legit shot of making this team this year.

I Like your comment about “trashcan” maatta ;)

Seriously though, from what I’ve read, it sounds like hawks are going Turcotte at #3. They’re both gonna be excellent players. Really no “bad” choice</div></div>

Oh I’m not a huge fan of this trade Hahahaha. But yea I know a guy who writes for CSN chicago and he said word on the street byram is the man... prayers that it is cause he’s almost NHL ready and he just turned 18 like a week ago or something lol.

Yea life been busy. I would like to think we were both right/wrong. Fleury was impressive last year, and Andersen has been godly at times this year (had a good game one). Andersen could be on a mission and plays in front of a weak D. No more arguing, maybe some trolling, but I will not name call. Just enjoy some puck eh. Hope all is well buddy.

How do the Hawks need to rebuild? Retool yes, exactly what they're doing, rebuild no. You don't rebuild with a top 5 point guy in your team.

I think he does, but with Kane. Panik I think would fit well with Saad and Toews. Think soupy doesn't need to come back in my opinion no sense in giving Forsling every other game. Think we have to trust him, always have space to move for a dmen.
