Top Undrafted Free Agents for the Hawks to Target

[Jay haller]

You aren't. It is obvious.

The Hawks have a proven track record of giving young players a chance to play.

in Rockford to rot

 

[Jay haller]

You really aren't watching. Thank you for the confirmation.

boqvist was developing by being benched for AHL chaff

Not remotely accurate.

for me, i search and search and still haven't found out if Noel Hoefenmayer - Defense - Ottawa 67's is or will be a FA at the end of this season. he is still unsigned and i really like him.

He was a FA last season, but nobody signed him.

Just reading through the last page now and am disappointed to see Jay Haller has invaded HF Hawks. Boggles my mind how someone who is clearly a troll can continually survive on this site.

Why even have rules? I might as well post in the nude!

 

[Blackhawks]

It is pretty obvious you are not watching anymore. This team is still fun to watch as a fan of the game. Dach, Boqvist, and the young players progression is interesting. Kane is still a skating highlight.

Fun to watch? What on earth are you talking about? If you think this Hawks team is fun to watch then your standard of fun is really low, this has been one of the worst teams in the league for 3 years in a row, any NHL team is fun to watch by that standard minus a couple bottom of the line bottom feeders. This is not a participation trophy come and have fun league, we need a winning team and playoffs hockey... I bet when I say that a few are gonna say you are not a real fan or something pathetic along those lines, the whole point of being annoyed about them being losers is a proof of being a die hard fan and if you just wanna “have fun” watching a losing team it’s more of a proof you are a bandwagoner and don’t really give a jack about the results or standing or anything of any importance.

Hockey is fun, and the kids are reason enough to continue enjoying games.

Can we keep this thread about undrafted free agent types.
No reason to ruin every thread with unneeded complaining.

I am glad to see some people have basic smarts. Some people just like to watch hockey.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Actually I am watching plenty and our team is bottoming out with JC leading way

Seriously why should a kid view the Hawks as top option?

You didn't mention Toews as a fun player to watch right now so you must not be watching.

I don't know is it good idea sign Nordgren yet.
He's missed a lot games due to injuries last 9-11 months.

So in my opinion let Nordgren play first healthy and good season without injuries in HIFK.
And if he's played well and developed as he should then sign him spring 2021.

Agreed. They have another year to wait on him until decision time.
I just listed all their prospects from the leagues their in and the ones that expire after this year.

 

[Geoist]

Kane , Boqvist and Dach are about only reasons to watch Hawks at this point (A few others like Kubalik when he is given chance something our idiot coach denied him much of year)

If I didn't check the date I would've sworn this post was from October or November.

 

[Geoist]

boqvist who was just scratched for seeler

Boqvist had a bad game the previous game night and Seeler needed to get back in. JC has a habit of benching young players after a bad outing and they usually come back fired up the next game.

Teemu Turunen could be one target for Blackhawks but even he's fought with injuries this season.
But overall Turunen has been HIFK's best player in liiga and one of top scorers as well.

If i'm not mistaken Turunen has option with HIFK for season 2020-2021 but is he going to use it that i can't say.
There is still chance on that Turunen leaves from HIFK after this season but lets see what happens.

Honestly no nothing about him but I like free lottery tickets.

Hopefully we will see soon that the Hawks have signed Brett Neumann...

Because mods are too busy sending endless warnings to mean people and closing threads the moment there are 3 posts off topic.

any concerns on his lack of height ??

That can't be right, I've gotten a ton of warnings and I'm a super nice guy. Maybe they're just jealous.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Haven't heard anything yet, but I'd like them to be.

Neumann is a lightning fast skater, a solid shooter, has great work ethic, and has experience playing with a certain generational talent...

I want to see him in Rockford next season along with Brinson Pasichnuk who is my top NCAA free agent for the Hawks to sign.

Admittedly just looking at his numbers. A over 20 year old having a great year. But not particularly great beforehand. Do you think they could get him on a Ahl deal?
Would be great for him to skate the generational "disappointment" that is Strome.

If he doesn't receive any ELC offers then I'm sure he'll take an AHL deal. But I think he'll receive some NHL interest first.
