Proposal: Center options left...
- Thread starter Northernhawk
- Start date
I'm fine with Strome, Suter, Soderberg, Kurashev, Barratt (and Wallmark, Kampf etc) as options.
It's damn ugly but lots of development time.

I don't see how either of these guys are an improvement over what we already have. We have bottom six Cs. It's just a question of which ones we're going to move up in the lineup to slot in for Dach and Toews. Whichever ones we do, we have others to replace them. If there were top six Cs on the market that would be a different story, but there aren't.

They're no Centers...may have played at Center but they're natural Wingers. No improvement on what the Blackhawks already have. And I'm a huge fan of Lewis. Used to be one heck of a role player.
Best UFA Center still available is Christoval Nieves. Already 26 and a bit of a project and a long shot but he's actually a decent little player. Could be an option for the taxi squad. Had back luck with injuries and his Hartford stats are misleading because there's not much scoring on that team. Big guy with upside. Liked him in the NHL. Don't think the Blackhawks need him but he's the best UFA Center in my view.

Even prospects wise to rise throughout the year like Kurashev, Barratt, and Hagel had experience at center in Europe.

He is a center. Can play all forward positions. But I agree on the second point. Hawks really only have 3 top 6 forwards under contract and healthy at this point, and none of them centers.Janmark isn't a center. Let alone a top6 player

He's not. Hardly played Center at NHL level. Was tried a few times but at the end of the day, he's just much of a plug to play Center. Couldn't make plays to save his dear life. Also sucks at faceoffs.

Well, he just sounds like a perfect fit with the Hawks, doesn't he?
Doesn't play center, sucks at faceoffs... 2nd line C for sure. Isn't that how Frolik was brought in? Rusty Olesz? Who else played 2nd line C, Saad?
Patrick Kane can score 100+pats with Anisimov as his center, and make Anisimov a consistent 20 goal scorer I'd say give Soderberg the spot with Kubalik and maybe Highmore
Suter Janmark and Wallmark
And then go nuclear with Debrincat Strome and Kane

Toews and Dach being out opens the door for Suter to step in at center.
Strome will get signed.

Why? For what?
Play prospects over acquiring washed up vets (or any vets, for that matter).
