[Blackhawks]

Has he been a healthy scratch past couple games?

Yea.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

Yea.

 

[Marotte Marauder]

At this point, I don't know who is he to replace? And when?

Play 18 minutes a night in RFD and then let's see.

I hope this handling of him doesn't derail him for good.

Definitely better for a 20 year old player. Send him down, give him some much needed ice time and bring him back with the first injury.

 

[Blackhawks]

He has not been that bad, I dont understand this move by Q at all. He was actually showing flashes last two games he played. Bickell is still garbage.

 

[GGGHawks18]

Yeah, if he's gonna sit, mind as well send him down and get him quality minutes.

Can we call up Paille even though he is on a AHL contract?

 

[Hawkaholic]

If they aren't playing him, he needs to go down. Q soured on him after that terrible shift in his last game. I prefer him to Bickell, but what can you do.

Out again. If he can't crack the lineup, and they don't want him to develop in the AHL, why not just trade him before his value falls?

Paille would need to be signed by Hawks first, I guess.

But there is no need to call up anyone - send Dano down and keep Mashinter as 13th forward...

I am not convinced that sending Dano to Rockford will help his development.

Time and time again we see kids from the AHL making it up for a few games, not hacking it (according to Q), and being sent down again. Then they never see NHL ice as 'Hawks again as they get used as trade chips.

I believe there is a ceiling of how far you can grow in the AHL and Dano is pretty much there. He either needs to play at the NHL level in order to grow. If Q doesn't have the patience for that then Dano needs to be traded.

Disagree. Look at players like Nuquist, Tatar and TT, to name a few who have benefited from not being rushed. The players don't like it much but there are precious few who are truly ready for the NHL at Dano's age. And Q is not one to let a kid develop in the NHL. We all know that.

If he is not going to play we should send him down and let him play big minutes till around the Allstar break the. You bring him up and let him play everyday with the hope that he ready for the playoffs.

 

[RememberTheRoar]

How about trading Shaw+ for a 3C, and slotting Dano in the 3RW spot?

 

[JaegerDice]

If he's not going to play then they should send him down, but I don't think there's anything left for him to learn at the AHL level.

I think he needs NHL playing time to find his rhythm more than anything.

We don't need a 3C. We need an LW. Ideally one that can slot into a top 6 role and move TT down to 3C.

After last game I would sit Garbutt for that penalty on the bench. Inexcusable.

It didn't really look intentional. Which is why it was a bench minor instead of interference and probably fine for Garbutt.

Probably not, but dumb enough to sit. He had a decent start to the season but sense then I haven't seen anything beyond being just a guy.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Dano is not a 4th line player. Him replacing Garbutt does nothing.

Him being in the AHL playing 1st line mins is much better than sitting in the press box. I don't know how anyone can think otherwise.

I'd put him at 3RW and Shaw at 4W.

But I agree, if he's not going to play 75% of the time, I'd prefer he'd be in the AHL.

Interesting, so you think Teravainen is still the long-term 3C solution? It kind of seems like the team has given up on that idea.

Back on Dec. 2nd Quenneville said, "We feel playing with Johnny's probably where he's going to end up at some point, and hopefully he takes advantage of it."

 

[Toews2Bickell]

This is exactly the reason why I suggested moving him now if Q has already made up in his mind that he doesn't like Dano's game. The only outcome that can happen from him getting no playing time is creating a rift between Dano and Q, which effectively will result in reduced value on trade market.

Yep, that's how I see it too.

Hmmm .... not intentional, yet still dumb.

Seems to me that there is more to your posts then you're letting on.

What? He has been good all season. An unintentional high stick while moving down the bench is dumb enough to sit? This is a new level for hf boards.
