Presumably why he didn't get sent down for AHL playoff eligibility

 

[BHawk21]

played well enough to come back to the NHL when healthy. 2nd line tank center next year.

 

[Muffinalt]

Well f***, he definitely was a bright spot.

Get healthy, and see you on next years team!

 

[EddieTheEagle]

Play too good? You're done. Score game-tying-goals late in the 3rd period? You gone. Show too much hustle? Hasta la vista. Enjoy your surgery.

I appreciate how dedicated this organization is to the tank.

 

[nmgrbhfn]

Too bad! Get well soon kid!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Well that sucks

Enjoyed watching him play

What a f***ing warrior. Kid is the goods. The type of guy that likely plays injured in the playoffs, won't complain and still produces. Get well soon!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Kid can play up and down the lineup. Proved himself plenty as a guy to watch.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He'll be 24 soon. He's not overly talented and he's tiny. He's a very smart hockey player but he's probably just a guy.

Next year will be very informative. I feel like he's probably just a guy unfortunately.

Odd posts back to back

The tone of the posts conflict to me at least

I'm conflicted on the guy is fair. I want him to succeed, I just have doubts about it.

Hard not to root for a guy with smarts and an endless motor. Wish him the best.

If Alex Fortin is any proof, people get way too excited about 10 game stretches. He was decent and plays hard, but I don't expect much in the future.

Alex Fortin?? What stretch? That guy was never good.

Matthew Highmore, Graham Knott... those were dark days.

2018 people talked about Fortin like he was going to be something all the time here.

Highmore scored some big goals in the bubble playoffs. Forgot about him.

There was some hype for Fortin building but I never liked him. Cause I always tried to follow Rockford and saw it there. He had no hands and no smarts. He was Anithanisou light.

 

[TLEH]

Fortin could skate fast and that was it. He had zero hockey IQ

Fortin could fly , just no hockey sense what so ever.

Yep. Dollar general AA.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Kyle Baun is another one.

Guttman has plus smarts and motor, which are both skills that don't slump.

 

[Hawkaholic]

There were like 2 people who thought Fortin was any good.

There were like 2 people who thought Fortin was any good.

I don't even remember those discussions.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Fortin had plus wheels and no other hockey skill. He's 26 and in the ECHL for a reason.
