Prospect Info: Prospects Part 4: IceHogs/Fuel/College & Juniors/Int'l

Career minor leaguer? Well 72 points is nothing to be ignored. It will be interesting to see how he does with Rockford in any case.

If he does not approach last season's numbers, I would suspect at least some of the fault to be Rockford's. This would imply the Marlies are in better shape than our AHL affiliate. That's a sad state of affairs, and I don't think even this board could argue that. Something that should have been addressed for a while now in my eyes.

We have other defensive talent languishing down there. What are we waiting for to give them a chance? As far as Seabrook, I knew the reaction I would get there.

But I maintain it would be a good time to trade somebody, Rozy, Oduya, somebody.

Let's see what we've got? Why do we bury people in the minors?

Brennan putting up all those points is great, but he's a dman, and if he's not reliable enough in his own zone at an NHL level, then he doesn't belong up with the Hawks. Plus the Hawks already have plenty of people who can score. He was included in the Leddy trade to play in Rockford.

And there's no way they'd consider trading Oduya to play a prospect. He's too important to the depth on D, PKs, and can handle tough competition with Hjalmarsson. I wouldn't really care if they traded Rozsival though.

Hogs down 1 to the Griffins 10 seconds in the game

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Hawks kill a penalty (Regin - holding) and get an odd-man rush shortly after Regin comes out of the box finished by Matt Carey with a laser through the Griffins goalies 5-hole.

That kid seriously has a shot.

1-1.

eta: Assists were TT and Regin.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Leighton makes 38 saves after the first shot he missed and the Hogs win 2-1. Nordstrom got the second goal with about 1:30 left and TT got an assist on it.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

TT must have found a few guys he's not too good for.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Oh Captain My Captain!

Two assists for TT then tonight, nice.

 

[Bubba88]

good to see TT score.

4 guys named assistant captains including Dahlbeck and Clendening

Every team in the league ignored him when he cleared waivers.

 

[HockeySauce]

How about T.J. Brennan? Are they just gonna let him rot in the minors? After a 72 point season with the Marlies last season? What a waste if that is the case.

He sure could help the powerplay. God knows it could use some help. Looks awful.

With all these teams looking for defense, would be a great time to move somebody. Rozsival? Oduya? Maybe even Seabrook?

I know I'll get torched for that last one, but he would probably command max value right now. All these kids languishing in the minors. Would free up some cap space. I love Seabrook too, but this club is just too comfortable IMO. Something like this might wake them up and light a fire under some *****. Are we going to wait until he declines and brings no return?

Yes, because if a powerplay can't score with Toews, Kane, Hossa, Sharp, Keith, etc.. surely TJ Brennan will save the day.

 

[Taze em]

Paliotta vs Hinostroza at 7 tonight on NBCSN if you are on candy distribution duty.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Another assist for TT, to Nordstrom.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Garret Ross got a hat trick tonight and IceHogs won 6-3 in San Antonio. TT almost had an empty net goal but it was waived off for offside but then Ross got it with no secs left to complete the trick.

The Ross-McNeill-Danault line was buzzing big time from the bit I saw.

 

[hawksfan50]

And tonight..a 5-1 win...5 goals on just 25 shots for Rockford..now that is efficient shooting..the big club ought to take shooting lessons from the little club.

 

[GGGHawks18]

Pokka with a goal and an assist tonight.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Forgot to mention that. Good for Pokka. I also know TT got at least once assist for sure tonight.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Interesting dynamics. Hawks used to be considered short for RD dmen. Now its on the other side. RD depth pool is strong. LD not so much. Right now Brennan might be the #1 call up for the left side.

Doubtful that a career minor league talent like Brennan would be first call

Dahlbeck IMO would get call

 

[Hawkaholic]

Nice to see McNeil and Danault leading the Hogs in scoring (along with Regin) at 8pts in 10GP. Teravainen seems to be finding the score sheet more often as well with 7pts in 10GP.

Weird seeing Clendening and Brennan with only 3pts though.

 

[HockeySauce]

Rockford's lineup is just loaded. Each pairing, IMO, is a legitimate #1 pairing on any AHL team and the goaltending is rock solid. With the addition of TT and Hartman, the forward group is very well balanced.

 

[Bubba88]

3 #1 pairs?

 

[Taze em]

Random thought apropos of nothing but I'll bet money that the Hawks select Brendan van Riemsdyk with their second pick in the 2nd round.

13 g 3 a in 13 games in the USPHL this far. The same league the Hawks took Starrett from in the 3rd round last year,

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

@ESPNChiHawks: Teravainen & Ville Pokka, who is also from Finland, have a place together in Rockford. Both said it's helped having the other there.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

@ESPNChiHawks: Teravainen isn't a fan of the AHL's dump-and-chase style. "It’s not the funnest thing. I’m trying to stay happy with this hockey."

Yikes. That is really not a good thing at all.
