Hey Hawks fans, I'm looking for some info on these players who made their debut this season. What type of players are they and what kind of NHL future do they have? Thanks!
Dominik Kahun
Jacob Nilsson
Luke Johnson
Alexandre Fortin
Dennis Gilbert
Kahun had a really strong rookie season. Definitely has a place in the NHL as a top 9 playmaker.
Jacob Nilsson didn't do a whole. I think he only played 1 game with us or something. Likely just an AHLer, but maybe develops into a 4th liner.
The only bigger liability for the Hawks this season then Luke Johnson was Brandon Manning. I was thrilled when he got banished to Rockford.
Fortin skates really fast, but his brain and hands can't keep up.
I missed the 1 game that Gilbert played with us, but I've seen some good reviews here from those that did.
