Thread: My lineup for next season
These are pretty similar to what I'd want. I like that we have a number of young depth dmen who can hopefully push eachother to be better and give us different looks. (feels like we've been saying this for past few years but point still stands hopefully)

I could see Davidson letting Strome walk just for the fact he has arbitration and they might want to give Reichel that C spot between what most likely will be Debrincat and Kane. But I do love the idea of reuniting the Eerie connection and seeing what they can do together again.

But if they think Reichel is gonna be a C then I fear that Strome is gonna be the odd man out unless they commit to Kirby being a RW next season which I don't think any of us want to happen.

Even with saying I don't want Kirby on RW, I would actually love to see a Debrincat - Reichel - Dach line at some point :)

Here's to hoping they don't let Strome and Kubalik walk for nothing...

Thread: Hawks fans help
Only thing I expect to change is Carpenter in for Nylander. Colliton loves having Carpy on the 4RW and penalty kill. Could also see Gaudette in for Borgstrom or Strome depending on Pre-season games.

Call me crazy but I don't see them starting Borgstrom on 4th line as I think they're gonna want to set him up to be successful so could see him on 3rd line wing or *hear me out* 1st line C with Cat & Kane. Now just cuz he's listed as 1st line C doesn't mean he'd play that much, more just he gets opportunity with skilled guys to see what he can do. Obviously I'd like to see Dach there but having him eat up 3rd line competition could be great for his development.

I'm excited for how many different options at forward we have. I think the competition is really gonna help this team achieve success. Defense is no slouch either with a bunch of guys battling for those left side spots. Healthy competition is exactly what we need, just hope we don't lose anyone on waivers.
