Oh thank f*** Keith and Murphy are finally together. I like the balance so much more. Shelter Strome and Kane together while youre at it, rest of the lines can work hard and be responsible.
Prayers for Maatta having to carry Seabs.

Yeah agree. Difficult to have Kane, Strome, DeBrincat and Nylander out at the same time and not have half your lines bleed chances.

Toews and Kane didn't help matters, but we're talking about our 1C who put up 81pts last year, and what is likely the 2nd best RW in the entire league. Those two are going to bring it more often than not. Unless Nylander want's to start playing like an elite level player, he needs to show more hustle and less turnovers.

No, but the line Nylander went to was absolutely far worse after that switch.

Simply put, if Toews and Kane need a winger to boost their game this team is in deep trouble. I saw no urgency from either of them.

I maintain that the coach’s system is not a match for the skillsets of the players on D. There simply isn't enough mobility on the back end. There wasnt enough last season either, and then the team went out and acquired more slower dmen.
The fact that Zack Smith sucks at hockey should be enough to dislike Zack Smith.

There’s not much about Smith to like at this point.

Smith should be the 13th forward. Carpenter hasn't been much better so far.

When I brought up Nylander being redundant last week I got blasted. Watch out.

Because it was too early then and it still is; but I think most will agree that we need to see more from Nylander.

Both Nylander and Kubalik were better than toews and kane in their time spent on that line.

No, you got blasted because of the instant 180 degree turn you took in your opinion of the deal.

It's strange how guys can look decent elsewhere (Carpenter was liked by Vegas fans, Smith scored 15Gs) and then they come in here and look like they barely belong in the NHL.

The Hawks would have to have a very, very bad record for JC to get canned before the season is over.

On the plus side, there are 2 amazing players at the top of the draft this year if that does happen!

Smith hasnt looked like he belongs in the NHL for awhile now, and only a team with profoundly bad pro-scouting would have considered him worthwhile.

ya smith is so replaceable and for a fraction of the cost I might add and you know, he is not very good at the PK.
Well if he's ready to play defense and battle for pucks already, not only is he an upgrade over Nylander but pretty much half our team. Would be so nice if he stuck the whole year.
So now we have the "New Lopk Blackhawks" version 2.0 as 1.0 in the first 2 games flopped.
1st line = 2 shrimps and a $10.5 who no showed in Hames 1 and 2..
2nd line =Shaw Strome Kane ..but 1 if Strome or Kane must be better defensively ..
3rd line were terrific in possession in 1st period last game..but Kampf has no hands and can't finish. SAAD blew his clear break-away and for $6.0 mist gove more production.. Kubalik might have had a couple more goals with better luck ...however they may leadtcseem to have some chemistry together to force pucks into the o-zonecand play in that zone awhile...which the other lines have not done..
4th line = Smith Caroenter Perlini ...should be okndefensively but how much offense will we get.
Nylander benched to 13th F or 14th ifvyounput Fach ahead of hom.
The Dach at winger in the Toews line was also seen in practice...so JC still seems to not want to give him too much a workload and too much pressure at 3C ..but that probably is going to be the line down the road.
So they will try D-Cat Toews Caggiula
...if Caggiula gets Toews to actually turn on his Country Club membership and go to WORK again ,maybe this works.. but it may fail otherwise...
JC will then go
to version 3.0 and put Dach with Toews and Caggiula...
If line 2 has worked well then it would be D-Cat Kampf Kubalik as line 3 and Saad would go to 4LW instead of Smith.
And if that does not work then the final last straw version 5.0 will be tried where they finally let Dach play C. And change the line designations order...
Version 5.0 would then be:
Line 1:
Shaw Strome Kane
Line 2:
D-Cat Dach Kubalik
Line 3:
Saad Kampf Perlini
Line 4:
Carpenter Toews Caggiula
If it gets to version 5.0 it means Tiews co tuned to fail and deserves to be denitedxtob4th line.
Get out of the Coubtry Club and start working hard...or else!

Carpenter and Smith both dont belong in the NHL, thats $4.5M in dead cap space on the roster. We have Seabrook with $7M of dead cap space and also another $5M or $6M of dead cap space on the bench depending on whos playing in net. While teams are icing close to $80M of efficient players on the ice, this team is icing 15M+ less. Colliton is a smart dude but its not his fault he was given a job hes no where ready for(he needs another 10 years), you gotta blame the moron who gave it to him and the one who gave him this depleted team.
