Thread: GM Game - Chicago Blackhawks

I agree Fiddler dragged him down but I'm concerned he couldn't beat Fiddler out for the C role. Maybe he plans at sticking at wing but if thats the case I would just be downgrading my wing by trading panik for another winger.</div></div>

No worries. Thanks for letting me try though.

Still, Fiddler playing C in lieu of Watson was Laviolette's fault (as was Fiddler and McLeod getting ice time to begin with). A gritty but good 4th line &gt; a 4th line consisting of complete garbage, but coaches love their useless vets...</div></div>

You betcha, we can talk deals anytime. Laviolette is a pretty good coach though haha

Ya thats a hard pass from me. You just told me Fiddler forced Watson to a 4th line wing so I'm not sure he's better than the players listed. If White doesn't make opening roster he will force his way on quick. Schmaltz had 28 p in 61 g as a 20 year old. Competition for Kero and Hinostroza hence 12-13. Not sure were going to work something out.</div></div>

I didn't say that Watson failed to beat Fiddler. I said that Fiddler played with Watson, which hurt him considerably b/c Fiddler is a refrigerator on skates. McLeod also dragged Watson down a lot. I'm personally very excited to see what Watson can do without those two useless plugs on the 4th line. Hell, he could even beat Scott Hartnell for the 3LW spot.

Now that Fiddler's off the team (thankfully), if Watson stays on the 4th line, he could easily play C, which would force Colton Sissons to 4RW. Or Sissons could spend most of his time at C, with Watson as the 4RW. Or Watson could bypass all of that by beating Hartnell for the 3LW spot. I don't know enough about the Preds to determine what will definitely happen, but these are some realistic hypothetical scenarios.</div></div>

Ya we have different opinions on all of that, which is fine I just don't think we are going to agree to a deal. I appreciate the offer and the fun conversation. Thanks.:)

How high would you look? I can't give up too much since they would probably be a 12-13 forward on my team.</div></div>

Idk about that. White might not start the year in the NHL and they could easily give Schmaltz, Kero, and Hinostroza some competition for a larger role. Would a 2019 2nd be at least somewhat reasonable?</div></div>
