Waived: Boris Katchouk

[Jimmy2Times]

I have at least 2 other guys I'd have done this to before Katchouk so maybe it was an off ice decision after all... I thought he brought valuable minutes to the PK for most of the season and was starting to put together more good games than bad with a couple of goals to boot. Not sure how I see RJohnson or Entwistle getting the nod over him they both have been just as inconsistent.

In the grand scheme of things though this doesn't move the needle either way... plenty of journeymen bottom 6 guys out there to replace him with.

Entwistle and Johnson are extremely consistent. It's just consistently mediocre.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

A lot of guys play hard. To borrow your words.. a lot of guys would lay down on 294 to play minutes in the National.

Karchouk isn’t one of them consistently but he provides more than Reese could ever dream.

Preaching to the choir my man.

 

[Northernhawk]

Hockey Canada could be a factor.

Does this mean AA is coming back?

I’m hoping Colton Dach gets called up

 

[BobbyJet]

I'm gonna give LuRich and Davidson the benefit of the doubt. Reese is always giving everything he has and I'm hoping this a culture decision.

I think I can pretty much guarantee that this statement is 100 percent correct.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Entwistle and Johnson show up to optional practices. Katchouk doesn't.

I think that's all there is to it.

I think most Hawks fans can plainly see that Entwistle has upped his game this season. Hopefully, he will keep improving.

He's gone from awful to occasionally useful. He works hard. That's great. He's a mediocre NHLer.

 

[ColbyChaos]

Nah, he's likely one of the "more likely to be guilty" parties (not Formenton but the next tier if you were to track), his statement was... vague.

The other statements are much more affirmative that they weren't involved. Compare to Raddysh for instance.



Innocent until proven guilty and all, but you can start to cross-compare and it certainly looks less good for him than others.

Exactly why I don’t care for him being gone. It’s one thing to show up once every 7 or so games and suck the other 6 but it’s even worse to be linked (potentially at least still) and that’s your only statement about it all.

He's a few games into his first professional season. He needs to marinate.

Agreed leave him down for the majority of this season.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Boris cleared. Nice reinforcement for Rockford

 

[clydesdale line]

 

[WarriorofTime]

Not unexpected but good to see him clear regardless

 

[u2wojo]

Clearing probably increases (what little) trade value for Boris. He is a nice depth piece in the AHL for a playoff team that has some injury holes along the way to fill at the NHL level.

 

[clydesdale line]

He's back.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Boris baby

 

[WarriorofTime]

Must mean no Raddysh for a bit

 

[TLEH]

Must mean no Raddysh for a bit

He went on IR, isn't there like a 10 day thing for that?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I think he could fit in very well with Reichel and Guttman. Brings size and nasty that those two don't.

Too bad it will always be Entwistle or Reese.
