Injury Report: Juhjar Khaira

[Mrfenn92]

Seems like they might be rushing him back a bit early

Agreed

Glad to hear Khaira is doing better.

not glad to hear he will be in the lineup

4th line he doesn’t bother me
Should play no higher then that and the pk

I've heard the Khaira criticism for months now. I didn't have a view because I wasn't familiar with his game and wanted to see the guy play a fair number of games in Chicago before commenting. After a few months, I think he is indeed a 4th liner but a very good one in relation to what is on the current roster. He is capable of playing on the 3rd line with the Hawks but only because this team is so bad in the bottom-6. I don't have a problem with him playing on the 4th line until I see someone younger who is better.

One thing certain: I don't want a small player like a Tyler Johnson or a slacker like Nylander playing in his spot. I know some will disagree but neither have the goods to play in that role.
Some will say that Nylander in a 4th line development role to learn to play hockey might be a good thing for him and the team in the long run .... but I'm afraid he has to prove himself in the AHL.

Of course, there's always a chance that Covid could play a role in his destiny. Like many young players.

It will be interesting to see Khaira's ice time with Gabriel in the mix.....

Why why why why why would they demote Slavin? The f***?

I’ve found him great for the role they put him in.

Ah, I see. I'll admit I'm not as up to date with every transaction that has been made this year.
