i am a firm believer in bring in bodies/players and let them sort themselves out via competition in the training camp

RIP Fugu
No thanks
If Hawks go KHL route on anyone it should be to check and see if Shalunov wants to come over and give it another try in NA

He's been described as a minny Hossa but how that transcribes to the NHL is another thing. I would like like to see him at training camp to see if he has improved since his 1st time around. The Blues may have just rushed him too quickly the 1st time around.

30+35 = 62. My friend Igor has been sleeping in math lectures. Actually he just made a mistake. Jaskin has 30 goals and 32 assists for 62 points. He doesn't have 35 apples.

His weakness was always his skating but he's a solid bottom 6 option that can play higher in the lineup when needed. He's a fine option as long as he's not asking too much.

No, no and no. Don't want anymore guys whose weakness is their skating. Strome, Boquvist, Pirri (yes my guy Pirri) and so on.
I want guys that can fly and will get to net front on both ends. Those are really my only requirements to go with Kane, Toews, Cat, Saad, Kubalik, Murphy, Dach, Carpenter, Maatta and Keith.
Give me 10 guys in that mold, trade Gus, Strome and Lehner, try to resign Crawford for reasonable $/term
Put in an aggressive forecheck to take advantage of the skating along with a quick regroup and go, shoot the puck because you KNOW someone will be in front.

He is not fast and lacks mobility, particularly when skating backwards.
Skating is the limiting factor in his game.
i didn't know the limitation of Boqvist's skating skills to put it mildly. but i remember the last game where he was beat on the outside ...... the opponent just took him wide and he couldn't keep up.

I disagree. It's one of his strong factors. Sometimes he gets caught flat footed, or making the wrong first decision, but he has zero issues with his skating.
I will take a middle ground on Boquist on his skating. His speed is not problematic overly and it is certainly not a strength either. It is merely that his speed is OK - not a strength nor a weakness. If it hedges anywhere from say average, his speed now is a stitch below average - not a problem at all. Playing speed depends on positioning, recognition speed reaction time, and skating. For Boquist, with experience and confidence, his positioning, recognition speed and reaction time will improve and so going forward, I see zero issues with his playing speed.

Do you mean the first goal?
He wasn't beat on that play at all, he kept Chytil well to the outside as he should. Lehner simply let in a weak goal from a bad angle.
If you mean Kreider's goal, well he's one of the fastest skaters in the league. It's gonna happen to everybody.
