2018-2019 Blackhawks Roster

[CanadianHawks]

Wouldn’t mind it, but what’s the cost?

He's been a scratch recently for the Devils. Maybe a Murphy for Severson deal. I like Murphy but a change of scenery may work for both sides

Would absolutely do that deal

Severson has had a down year and while I don't have the time to check it (I have time for posting obviously), I think he has played less in PP than last year.

Murphy for Severson any day of the week. I would add if necessarily. Not much but like 3rd?

If that’s the price, I think that’s a no-brainer. I’d be willing to add Duclair’s rights or Anisimov as well.

 

[Melrose Munch]

Bring back Hammer and TVR.

Re sign Panarin in a year.

Wonder what it would take to pry Subban from Vegas as they have a bunch of goalies...

 

[Bubba88]

I say Krüger with Retention would be something I'd like.

 

[Pez68]

Lots of madness in this thread. Let's stop bringing back ex-Hawks.

 

[Enyaw]

Bring back Hammer and TVR.

Re sign Panarin in a year.

Hammer is done ... injuries and age have taken a toll
TVR is a never was .... he is a 5th 6th dman at best .... we have Seabrook and others to fill that role
Pannarin can be had when he is a UFA for $8-10 mil per year ... no way
No thanks on Kruger ... a 4th liner doesnt make this a playoff team

stop bringing back ex hawks

my 2 pennies

TvR would probably have been our 3rd or 4th best D this year.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Bring back Hammer and TVR.

Re sign Panarin in a year.

Hammer is done. He has nothing left in the tank as far as I can tell.
TVR is a solid bottom pairing guy. Always has been. No reason to bring him back when the Hawks have quite a few third pairing guys already.

Panarin isn't getting resigned when it will cost the Hawks 8x9m or so. Just not happening. I'd rather do Tavares for that money at that point.

What’s with the sudden TVR obsession again? Is he any better than Rutta?

Also, you have to be okay letting either Schmaltz or DeBrincat go once their ELC is up in order to bring back Panarin, don’t get why people are suggesting that.

 

[Pez68]

TVR... lol

 

[BK]

TVR... lol

In before we see Murphy for TVR with retention on Murphy.

I was a TVR critic but if he can back on a cheap deal as a bottom pairing guy it would not be the worst thing but it would have to be cheap and he should only be in the bottom pairing.

Panarin has chemestry with Kane. I think the hawks need depth imo and people familiar with the system. Had no idea so many wanted to move on.

not sure anyone wanted to move him. i felt that trade was kind of a suprise to most.

If guys familiar with the system was the answer, Then Saad and Toews would have looked more like a 1st line and less like a 3rd line this year.

In retrospect the trade was a bad one, but I seriously think a lot of people expected Saad & Toews to sparkplug each other and have better years than their respective 2017's and Kane, as proven when he was saddled with Richards and Sharp in 2015, could produce regardless but take a slight hit on the O.

 

[MTP]

Severson would be a dream come true for the Hawks.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

Watching the playoffs for a week now and the Hawks problem, IMO, is not the who it's the how they play.
These teams play with much more pace, snarl and desire with quick counterattacks.

Unless we change the how (Q), it won't matter much about the who.

I agree to an extent. Our roster, primarily the defense and goaltending depth, played a big role in our performance this season, but better systems and structure would've helped a hell of a lot.

The hallmark of the Hawks Cup teams. First year in past ten they never once played like that, this year.

Even last year there was a stretch mid year where they relentlessly counter attacked...quick strikes, crisp passing, north up the middle. I foolishly entertained thoughts of a Cup run then, but soon that play ended. Alas, no edginess or snarl, and obvious contentedness with inconsistent desire, led to an uninspired end to regular season and being swept in first round.

 

[Enyaw]

Watching the playoffs ............... Its amazing how many teams are able to play an up-tempo game and still have "truculence", "grit", "and snarl" ... all things lacking on the Hawks. You can play a puck possession game ... you can play at a high speed and ..... and ..... still be physical .... its not one or the other

Thats another reason why I want Tkaczuk ... a big kid who can create space for Kane

Saad - Toews - DCat
Tkaczuk - Schmaltz - Kane

 

[BK]

Sounds like Hino had Hernia surgery this week. Wonder when it happened. They did not release many injuries this at the end of season exit interviews.

 

[BK]

BTW, I am all for signing Ilya Kovalchuk if the price is right. He can still play and would really help our PP.

20-19-IK
12-8-88

This is a pretty solid top 6 IF 20/19 get their shit together.
