I have thoughts. Many o' thought. Writing them up. I shall return.

Courtney's gonna be happy.

Tomkins, woof!

Did Beaudin piss in JC's cheerios? Otherwise....

Just no room for him. Boqvist and Mitchell are ahead on the depth chart.

At least Beaudin gets playing time, I guess.

And Courts gets a goalie. Good day for the Rockford Icehogs.

Having him play 20+ minutes and the PP every game is far preferable to getting ~10-12 minutes sporadically. Good GIF though.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

They probably want Beaudin playing in games...his time will come

(Yes, thank you for taking Tommy away from Derek King)

The fact is that our D is packed and Boqvist is higher priority and Mitchell is more ready. Beaudin cant get better sitting on the bench. So now he plays top minutes in the AHL and will hopefully bring him up later and/or deal with this log jam over the summer.

The hawks are in a playoffs spot and they will not sacrifice that to play rookies. While de Haan definitely. has his...off days, he is still a decent veteran who eats minutes that the coaches trust more.

let Beaudin get even better down there.

Was Tomkins actually playing well? The moves on paper feel like they're basically trying to improve Rockford's team by inserting youth they want to play every night but do not have a spot for them in the NHL but they have to promote some players to be roster compliant so they called up some AHL guys to sit instead of players they see with a potential future in NHL...Is this assessment off base and the players they called deserving of games in NHL?

Well then I hafta disagree with that depth chart. Beaudin had a few bad moments in one game and it seems that was enough for JC to sit him ... and then demote him.

You're spot on, AFAIC.

Beaudin was getting killed consistently in fancy stats. Boqvist has nights where he's really good and others where he's bad. I'm going to have to disagree with you and agree with JC and Stan.

Even on nights where Boqvist was underwater possession wise he was still above water in expected goals percentage.

In fact, Boqvist and Carpenter are the two top skaters on the Hawks in that category.

Beaudin has played better than Boqvist. This appears to be clearly a situation of the Hawks feeling the must keep Boq on the Hawks instead of letting him work on his game at Rockford. I don’t know why they think that is the better choice. But if I was Beaudin, I’d be a bit choked by this decision. Play better than the golden child but you still get sent down.

What have you done lately. Their last couple games each not the case, if he's bitter that's a terrible attitude. Thinking either has been far in away better is silly to me. They've both bounced up and down and the last taste is in Boqvists favor.

Beaudin got sent down because he hasn't played better than Boqvist. It's not just fancy stats either.....Boqvist isn't making the egregious mistakes in his own zone anymore and Beaudin was. It's really that simple.

I mean I agree a little bit. Ok that Beaudin's game slipped a little and he's the greenest on paper, but then Boqvist isn't held to the same standard coz he doesn't get demoted after his mistakes.

Strange coz JC was so high on Beaudin. Maybe they see a specific issue he needs to clean up (too calm with the puck which leads to turnovers?).

I understand we have too many vets and too many rookies/young guys but little sour taste in my mouth.

Too bad about Johnson too, although he's not on the level of our other bottom sixers so development time for him is nice.

Paper transactions. Simply put they need to play. 2 games THIS WEEKEND for the hogs.

Too bad JC doesn't have the balls to sit CdH for a game or two.

That makes a lot of sense.

 

[echlfreak]

Now that they are back from the road, Chicago can send a few players down the road to Rockford to get some game time in. If an injury happens or a sudden need for any of those guys it’s a simple call up. Otherwise it makes sense that they go play some games oppose to practice as a taxi squad.

keep Delia down to play as many games as possible.

Icehogs need help.....Beau will help them more....he's in the master plan, but will shuttle back and forth this year.

lol

Colliton has answered the balls question. Think you're confusing balls with brains. He's made a stuff ton of good decisions. But go ahead and second guess him: it's what we do.

eventually they will move DeHann or Zadorov and Beaudin will be a regular
