Thread: Expansion Draft Shenanigans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Seabs has to be protected unless he agrees to waive....he won't of course.

Don't see us signing Saad at $6M for another 4 years, he'll be going on 29 and headed on the back of his career.

Ian Mitchell is a lock for a 2nd line role. Forget Jammer...he's injury prone and will be too old. Role with Boqvist, Mitchell and Murphy on the right.

Expose Shaw. Guys like Kurashev, Hagel, Barratt are going to get a crack at the lineup.</div></div>

Only reason I think Seabs might waive if because Seattle would be so close to home near Vancouver. Bowman might have a conversation with him pre-draft and say that he can stay as a 7th dman or go to Seattle for playing time. This is an optimistic, maybe not so realistic post.

The term might be off, but (as you know) I love Saad and think he will be an important part of the future. Don't think he deserves a raise, but don't think he deserves less than what he makes now either.

Fine with me to switch Mitchell and Hjammer. I think they should bring in some veteran d-help so we don't have a top 6 made up of rookies and sophomores. Mitchell can get the minutes, as long as Hjammer gets the PK time.

I'm fine with exposing Shaw, he has been mostly disappointing this year, but I don't think he gets taken if so. If one of Kurashev, Hagel, or Barratt are good enough to crack the top 9, Shaw is still a good fit as a 4th line guy.

This is so far in the future that a lot of the lines are complete guesses, but I think this roster could be pretty accurate (if the Seabrook trade can happen, which is what I based the post off of). We'll see I guess.

Thread: Hatter No Bad Mouthing Dach
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HatterTParty</b></div><div>Alright alright alright.......

Even I have to admit he did much better. Also, I have to say, kudos to JC for letting the hawks play more run and gun offense. It actually seems like it’s getting the best out of the team. Unfortunately, the one big criticism i have for the team is the inability to stop shots. Crow and Lehner can’t keep getting shelled like this. They’re a fantastic tandem, but even the best goalies have a bend until they break point.

Otherwise, really enjoyed the game and I’m loving how JC is actually allowing the players to use their freakin speed.

On a side note, maybe this is just me, but I’m starting to dislike Shaw all over again.........</div></div>

I hate to say it, but Shaw is really bringing this team down. I love the guy and I'm happy (for the locker room's sake) that he's back, but he needs to play better. Send him to the 4th line until he proves he should be back up.

Lines I want to see:
Saad - Toews - Dach
DeBrincat - Strome - Kane
Nylander/Caggiula - Kampf - Kubalik
Smith - Carpenter - Shaw

Thread: Leafers Cats got your Tongue Kaned Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Great game. While the Leafs not having Marner and the Hawks not having their #2 D guy, it was still a competitive matchup. All in all the defense of both these teams are not good, but the Hawks flat out owned the Leafs in the first, played better defense for 2 periods, and had an amazing goalie in net, which led to the win.

That said, these offensive matchups as fun as they are to watch doesn't work in the playoffs...not that the Hawks are in any position to be talking about the playoffs.

A. Nylander did not look good tonight, average. Not sure if playing his brother got him off his game. Why is Smith playing over Carpenter...not a good move JC. Also, against fast teams Koekko or Gilbert should be in for Maatta or Seabs. Both Maatta and Seabs lack of speed was exposed multiple times this game. Gus on the other hand excels against speed opponents and looked solid.</div></div>

Carpenter had a death in his family so that's why he was out.
