The Great John Hayden Debate (& other ex-Hawks): Volume 6

[featherhawk]

Duclair looks good against Habs tonight. He's skating well ... just got robbed by Price.

guy has talent but is so inconsistent

 

[pvr]

Oh and another 2 quiet goals for Duclair.
He likes DJ Smith a little more than ole Torts!

Duclair looks good against Habs tonight. He's skating well ... just got robbed by Price.

And just like Perlini, in 2-3 more games he’ll go stone cold, and disappear for the next 20.

I don't know .. you may be right but I see Duclair as the better player compared with Perlini.
He's going at a .59 ppg pace and is neck and neck with Tkachuk with less ice time.
He may always be inconsistent but I think he's going to earn himself a half decent contract end of the year.
I would still have liked him to have been retained by the Hawks. I think he'll turn out.

 

[Panzerspitze]

The Blues have signed Troy Brouwer to a 1 year contract

Maroon replacement?

 

[clydesdale line]

Perlini.... 0 points, 0 SOG, 0 Hits, 0 BS, and a low 8:32 among forwards. Me thinks he's likely a healthy scratch very soon.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Wow.

On the worst team in the league to boot.

 

[Pez68]

He's....Yakupov. All the tools, but without a toolbox.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's....Yakupov. All the tools, but without a toolbox.

It’s more no heart than no tool box. He’s got the physical tools to have the floor of fourth line banger.

 

[hawksrule]

It's taken 13 games for Richard Panik to get on the score sheet for Washington Capitals.

What a serious disappointment he has been since the 16/17 season.

I really liked Panik at first. He's another guy who just couldn't put it all together.

 

[Section88]

Kahun with a highlight reel goal.

Also some seabs-esque defense from 25 there.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Perlini.... 0 points, 0 SOG, 0 Hits, 0 BS, and a low 8:32 among forwards. Me thinks he's likely a healthy scratch very soon.

Musto was right...

 

[clydesdale line]

Musto was right...

Like you were the only one..

 

[Kevin Musto]

Like you were the only one..

Haha I know. I think most of us were sane enough to realize what Perlini was. Still shocked that there was a group that kept defending him, even after the trade.

I think Duclair is better than Perlini too.

That speed alone in the bottom six is something other teams need to account for in their gameplan. More so than Zach Smith at the very least

The Duke has a goal and assist so far tonight .. Sens are up 4 - 1 over the Rangers.

 

[Rolo]

Kinda wish we kept Duclair. Wonder how he'd do under Colliton. I didn't see a problem with keeping him for 750K.

 

[crazyhawk]

I think the reason Duclair is succeeding so far in Ottawa is a combination of things ...
A bright new coach who knows how to work with young players.
He has been given a top six role seeing as the team is in a major rebuild.
Last but not least I would think that with Ottawa being his 5th team in just a few short years that it's now or never.

 

[BobbyJet]

Duclair with goal #10 today.

 

[ColdSteel2]

Vinnie against the Leafs


Duclair’s 8th and 9th


Duclair’s 10th

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Remember when we all were pretty happy and psyched about Hartman?

Seems so long ago and he isn't doing much in Minny at this point

22 GP
2 Goals
2 Assists
4 pts
-6

If that happened, it didn't last long. Most of us had no (or few) qualms when Hartman was traded. There was always the chance that he could blossom but that's usually the case when a young player is traded away.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

This org does a pretty good job knowing when to cut bait with a young player and get value before they're seen for what they are...Rarely have they willingly traded a kid away without cap reasons and been burned...Danault is probably the biggest one...I still don't understand that trade given how much the org seemed to like him before he turned pro...Barry Smith was a big fan iirc

They wanted to load up on forwards to try and get the repeat. Weise and Fleichman turned to garbage as soon as they arrived though. Shit happens sometimes.

 

[hawksrule]

Teuvo with 26 points in 24 games, and apparently playing a strong 2-way game. That was by far the most painful of Bowman’s bad trades.
