Thread: Opening Night - No Toews
Exo2769 - You're probably correct that Colliton will staff Kampf over Hagel - Kampf is a pretty good shutdown player that has learned to win draws. Wallmark is Kampf with far higher offensive upside; in my mind, only one of them plays and it's not Kampf. Janmark and Soderberg push Kampf down, too. It's not that Kampf won't play, he's on my scratch squad, but he just doesn't get prioritized as I think we know his ceiling. He'll still play every other game.

I think fans are going to initially underestimate Hagel and then grow to love him - a fan favorite. He plays a skilled rat game with speed (not entirely unlike Highmore) and Hagel put up 102 points in 66 games with Red Deer to earn a contract. He's on a tear with HC Thurgau this year, too. I'm confident that my bottom-six setup is solid to dangerous.

As for Jco5ta5, you're right - there will be room for Dach. I'm not certain Wallmark won't stay - I like his game. Janmark & Soderberg are great signings for the 3rd line today, but they'll likely be traded to contenders (though who knows with the Covid-19 rules, taxi squads, weird cap ramifications, etc). Second rounders might be high hopes as there will be fewer teams headed to the playoffs (16 this year) and more teams selling decent veterans. I'd think the Hawks will recoup the third they're missing somehow.
