Especially with how cheap he is. He’s proven to be very good at what he’s asked to do. It’s not like we can save money by moving on from him, so why move on?
exactly.

Even with Nylander/Suter there's a missing spot in the top 9 imo. Shaw can't be counted on
X-Toews-DeBrincat
X-Strome-Kane
Kubalik-Dach-x
Janmark-Wallmark-Shaw/Carpenter
As of right now, available players for the x spots are Shaw/Nylander/Suter
Kampf is kinda out already. The 4th line is what's crowded, not the top 6.
He is, but Wallmark is underrated and under utilized. Honestly, if the Hawks weren't so deep at C, I'd consider him on the 3rd line.Kampf is a perfect 4th liner. Plus the coach likes him.
maybe that has something to do with Strome not being signed yet couple that with the likes of Wallmark, barratt, kurashev wise in the mix moving forwardHe is, but Wallmark is underrated and under utilized. Honestly, if the Hawks weren't so deep at C, I'd consider him on the 3rd line.
Stan has said he sees Janmark filling Saad’s role, not sure why some are pretending he’s penciled in on the fourth line...
Kampf is the type of player we need to keep on the team.
I wasn't complaining about Kampf. I was arguing for adding Athanasiou to the top 9 mix as a flip candidate.Yeah I don’t get it either. Complaining about Kampf and wanting to replace him isn’t what we should be worried about, it’s the top 9 depth that’s the issue.
I do think we will see a trade or two with our F's before the season starts
Kubalik-Toews-Suter
Janmark-Dach-Kane
Kurashev- Strome-Cat
Wallmark-Kampf-Capenter
Shaw/Nylander/highmore/hagel/entwhistle
What's nice about Strome is that he has really good chemistry with both Cat and Kane.Shaw's in, until he's out. Nylander is in, most likely with Dach & Kane. Kurashev is the first forward up and I see him making his debut this season.

If I see one more person suggest bringing Kahun back, I'm going to lose my f***ing mind. The Hawks DO NOT NEED ANOTHER SOFT, PERIMETER PLAYING FORWARD. Period. Please stop.
Another hard pass on Athanasiou.
And Galchenyuk, too.
These guys don't play defense, and are easy to play against.
This is true. I'm only interested in Athanasiou to flip for rebuild assets. Hawks have way too many top 9 forwards allergic to playing defense.If I see one more person suggest bringing Kahun back, I'm going to lose my f***ing mind.

Edmonton just gave Detroit 2 2nds for him as a pure rental.Nobody on a contender wants this guy... Look at the teams he has played for. He's absolute trash.

The GM that drafted him to begin with. But then didn't keep him.Edmonton just gave Detroit 2 2nds for him as a pure rental.
Yep.....The GM that drafted him to begin with. But then didn't keep him.
Sure he's still an option but guys like him, Duclair, Hoffman, Kahun, etc. Either need to drop their price or desire to go where they think they will play.
Yep.....
If they can get one 2nd on a flip it would be worth it. He'd probably score a ton playing in the Hawks top 6.
They should be signing players to flip for picks and prospects as well if they have a good year.If the Hawks don't care about being bad, you don't have to bring players in from outside to be bad.... Just play your prospects. There's no point in bringing in any more players. Let the youth fight it out.

That's part of rebuilding. I'd imaging Janmark, Wallmark and Kampf are guys they could flip, but they won't bring as much as a guy who brings offense like Athanasiou or Galchenyuk would.

You stick those guys with Toews and another defensively responsible winger.I don’t want Dach and others trying to develop and having to cover for other guys like you listed who don’t even know how to spell defense let alone play it. It’ll be terrible for development all around. I’d rather them play with more defensively responsible and hard workers who are less talented than start to learn bad habits.
