AA being lazy is a new narrative from you. He was an overpaid 3C for the past two years I was told. This summer he’s devolved into trash.
2019-2020 expected roster volume 7

You honestly are saying he has given honest effort defensively over last 2 years? That we didn't see a good # of controller disconnect moments from AA?
He isn't a good player and is on fast decline
His final 2 years on contract are likely why we cant seem to dump him anywhere
Dach or Kurashev as rookies offer team more then AA at this point

He’s made mistakes sure but he’s been fine defensively. You’re moving goal posts. Again.

I dont see that. The only way I think you could draw that conclusion is mistaking Anisimovs lack of speed for lack of effort. The only guy this past season who I thought honestly didnt give a shit at times was Perlini.

Yea. AA will chase guys in his own end and with his sub par skating he’ll be out of position and unable to correct but it’s not a lack of effort thing.
Have you seen Dach or Kurashev play at the NHL level yet? Sure they have more upside but they shouldn't be rushed. AA is a fine 3C.

I don't need to see either
Removing AA should be a priority from this team and it doesn't matter who plays in his spot
He is a detriment to this team now and going forward

Cherry pick past the arguments that prove you wrong.

Any argument that portrays AA as an asset and his contract as good thing are clearly wrong and have no defense

Laz idea of our 3rd pairing
No argument needs to be made from me
Your the one trying to pretend AA is a positive for this team going forward. Explain what he does well and how it cant be replaced? Also explain how his 2 yrs at 4.55M is not a detriment to team at this point
He is the F version of Seabrook

And you have moved the goal posts yet again. Kampf at four million is a bad contract. It doesn’t make him a bad hockey player.

AA has bad contract and is bad player
Odd how Bobrovsky a 2x Vezina winner is bad now that he plays in Florida and joined Q according to people on this board but AA being bad and having bad contract is a good thing

Lol I’m done. Keep jumping all over the place instead of owning up to what has been presented to you as fallacious. Enjoy your night.
Bob has 7 years left on his. AA has 2 years left on his. They play a different position. Can't really compare the two.
AA isn't bad. Maybe a little over paid but not bad. Bowman isn't a bad GM. He has made bad moves but still a top half GM in the league.

oh boy if Seabrook and Maatta are our third pairing day in and day out the hawks are in trouble. Maatta, is slow in his own right and his "good positioning" may cover up his own turtle status but there is no way that it will cover the albatross that is Seabrook in addition.
JC better think of a better combo than that otherwise we are toast unless 4K plays more games than 7 mill

“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
And potentially the best way to preserve Keith by allowing him to play fewer 5v5 minutes, and asking him to matchup on top competition less.
Assuming AA is traded and Perlini is signed:
Saad-Toews-Shaw/Dach
Nylander-Shaw/Dach-Kane
DeBrincat-Strome-Perlini
Caggiula-Carpenter-Kampf
Sikura/Kubalik
Keith-Murphy
Maatta-Gustafsson
de Haan-Seabrook
Koekkoek/Dahlstrom
Crawford
Lehner
Saad-Toews-Shaw/Dach
Nylander-Shaw/Dach-Kane
DeBrincat-Strome-Perlini
Caggiula-Carpenter-Kampf
Sikura/Kubalik
Keith-Murphy
Maatta-Gustafsson
de Haan-Seabrook
Koekkoek/Dahlstrom
Crawford

agreed with the caveat being that Seabrook should not play more than 40 games throughout the season

On the Blackhawks Insider Podcast they had Stan on and he refereed to the "household names" on the team being permanent fixtures on the top 2 lines, and then specified them as Toews, Kane, DeBrincat, Strome. Not exactly newsworthy, but Stan really views those guys as the core.

He can play 82 if his minutes are at 15-16 per game.
Gus 24 Mins - 1st PP unit
Keith 22 Mins - 1st PK unit, 2nd PP unit*
Murphy 20 Mins - 1st PK unit
de Haan 19 Mins - 2nd PK unit
Maatta 19 Mins - 2nd PK unit
Seabrook 16 Mins - 2nd PP unit*
Gus minutes are the highest as he will be the lone Dman on the top PP unit, and can play some shifts with Keith if needing a goal.
But overall, our top 5 should average 19-21 minutes a game most nights, with Seabrook being in the 15-16 range.

Just bored, spitballing lines for fun. Thoughts? @RememberTheRoar @Kevin Musto @migi
Line 1 - All out offensive line. Our version of Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen or Marchand-Bergeron-Krejci
Line 2 - Strome with two solid veterans who can finish and open up space.
Line 3 - Wild card line. Two skilled guys, who have a lot to prove centered by AA
Line 4 - Probably a top five 4th line in the league. I would trust this line against most teams 2nd line, and some 1st lines.
