Tough to argue with, I'd maybe slot in Hossa for Sharp though.

Edit: nevermind, it's strictly positional.

 

[hawksrule]

Pretty straightforward if they're doing lw/rw, but it's kind of silly in that Hossa is so much more valuable than Sharp.

Rather make the whole team. And include only their best season as Blackhawk.

Patrick Sharp - Jonathan Toews - Marian Hossa
Artemi Panarin - Artem Anisimov - Patrick Kane
Andrew Ladd - Dave Bolland - Brandon Saad
Alex DeBrincat - Dylan Strome - Teuvo Teräväinen
Andrew Shaw, Nick Schmaltz

Duncan Keith - Brent Seabrook
Brian Campbell - Niklas Hjalmarsson
Johnny Oduya - Dustin Byfuglien
Erik Gustafsson

Corey Crawford
Antti Niemi

This is all offense I know but 1st and 3rd line would match up those Penguins teams pretty effectively. My only problem was Teräväinen, but I put him there because of his 2015 playoffs. I’d put that team against any best of the best team on this decade.

 

[Blackhawks]

Hossa above Sharp and Hammer above Seabrook

I like it, but I'd put Vermette over Anisimov.

God that Sharp-Toews-Hossa line was so good

 

[Mrfenn92]

Positionally it's a straight forward choice. You can make an argument for hammer over seabs. Hossa is tough to not see on there.

 

[BK]

Hossa over Sharp.

Hammer could give Seabrook a run but Seabrook had a lot of big moments.

 

[Blackhawks]

God that Sharp-Toews-Hossa line was so good

That Saad-Toews-Hossa line was even better

 

[Hawkaholic]

Hossa above Sharp and Hammer above Seabrook

Seabrook had a much bigger impact than Hammer did IMO.

 

[clydesdale line]

Seabrook had a much bigger impact than Hammer did IMO.

Shouldn't even be a debate really.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Put some respect on KFC

 

[BK]

Shouldn't even be a debate really.

No it should because Hammer made a huge impact but Seabrook was the better player (bigger impact). Nothing wrong with the debate on it as it does not diminish what Seabrook did for this team.

 

[Rooh]

Nah can't do it.

KFC ended the decade as a straight doodoo tank lieutenant.

You're talking about an all decade team (top 3 forwards and top 2 D) which was the point of the ESPN article. We all know Hammer was great for us but for the context of this, it shouldn't be debated.

We make fun of him now, but that doesn't change anything regarding his contribution to the three cups.

 

[hawksrule]

double post

Seabs was real nice from 2010-2014 and solid in 2015 as well. But since 2016 he's arguably been one of the worst d-men in the league.

I still appreciate what he did for the cup teams, but this is an all-decade team. I just can't put him over Hammer considering his last 3-4 years.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seabrook early part of decade was > Hammer

Seabrook was easily a bigger piece for Hawks in the first two cup runs and even in 2015 he was still very valuable

Just because he sucks now doesn't change reality that he was our 2nd best defender thru decade

Lets not forget Hammer was a bit lackluster in 10-11 and 11-12 after signing that contract with Sharks

I am simply stating that their value to the team over that period is not this huge gap where a debate about it absurd. Seabrook had rough spots during the good years just like Hammer did. I would rank the Keith >> Seabrook > Hammer.

No one is forgetting that just like no one forgets Seabrook having rough spots.

There’s definitely arguments to be made for Hjalmarsson being > Seabs, but ultimately I think it’s pretty clear that Seabrook was the more impactful/better player than Hjalmarsson in the timeframe we’re talking about.

I agree.

Seabs and Kane were so clutch in 2013. Seabrook gwg to tie series 2-2 in Boston and obv the Detroit goal. Kane with the dagger against LA...
