[Rooh]

Eddie O and Pat about to be running the Hawks, truly a time to be alive.

Tweedle-tree and Tweedle-dumb

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The Hawks can be dumb, but they're not stupid. I could totally see him being hired as a PR face, but not remotely in charge of on-ice operations.

 

[AmericanDream]

can never use this enough...

Foley in the booth once Edzo is gone

 

[idontusethisanymore]

Yikes

 

[Drumman44]

The hawks should be acquiring drafts picks by any means possible, not trading for players that get them a couple more wins this season or next.

1. Trade for Kessel
2. Send Kessel back to Toronto for Marleau, Horton, and picks / prospects
3. Tank and draft Hughes
4. ???
5. Plan the parade

 

[LordKOTL]

Not getting the fuzzy vibe that the 'hawks are going win against Vegas.

Expecting Ward in tonight. Also expecting something ridiculous happens that gives the game away. My bet is Saad on a breakway and he loses his skate blade.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Would break a lot of things if this org hired Eddie to run it...

 

[ChiHawks10]

Would break a lot of things if this org hired Eddie to run it...

I would actually boycott the organization in its entirety.

 

[migi]

Strickland is just speculating.

If we can unload some big contracts while trading for Kessel (like Keith or Murphy for Kessel), just do it. We could still go after Panarin too.

At least forward group would be fun as hell and our young D will eventually come.

Saad - Toews - Kessel
Panarin - Hughes - Kane
DeBrincat - Strome - Perlini

Heh.

 

[AmericanDream]

Would break a lot of things if this org hired Eddie to run it...

I mean, he barely lasted a year or two behind the bench, he has been in the booth ever since...I get that Tallon got involved in management from the booth, but there is a big difference between calling guys and then running a team...he would need to get into some type of VP role first before any of that is even discussed.

 

[HawksBeerFan]

By the way, I forget who mentioned in here, but the Stan Bowman interview on Spittin Chiclets a few days ago was great. Finally got around to listening to it yesterday.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Could it be?

Crawford + Keith for Kessel + Murray

A man could dream...

 

[Hawkaholic]

I'd be down for a Murphy for Kessel type of deal, as long as we aren't adding any future prospects or picks of significant value.

 

[Kevin Musto]

 

[Pez68]

Perlini has been crap. Strome has been really good though.

 

[Styles]

Could it be?

Crawford + Keith for Kessel + Murray

A man could dream...

Do you understand the rift that would happen in the locker room if that actually happened? This might lead to Kane and /or Toews requesting a trade. At that point you can dream about being a bottom 5 team for the next 4-5 years.

 

[migi]

Even if Perlini becomes a bust, Strome has showed much more than Schmaltz to me. He fits better.

I think we have to give Perlini time and chances. Not maybe with Toews and Saad though.

 

[goldenbladz1]

a Hell no for acquiring Maata, slow and injury prone. At least Seabrook is durable.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Need to send a message to the core.

That is terrible for Hawks and fans would never forgive organization

It would bring back the sad reality that Rocky is following in his fathers footsteps

It will be disgrace if Keith does not retire a Hawk. Only time he should be traded is if he asks for it which he has not done

Also our D and G will be absolute joke

With you on this one.

Downgrade at goalie. Check
Downgrade at defense. Check
Upgrade at forward. Check

No thanks. Only thing that move benefits is a tank.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Need to send a message to the core.

They already did that firing beloved HC

The one that needs message is the architect of this mess not the stars who won organization 3 cups

Bowman blowing up core after firing HOF HC would make him Krause 2.0 and send Hawks into irrelevance that has been Bulls for most of the last 20 years

for the life of me, how did team downgrade at the Goalie, compared to what ward and last yr group of goalies pretending to be an nhl goalie prospect
