I’d like to watch them play before voting, but Suter feels like the only guy that’s a safe bet to make the roster out of camp.

Yeah, it's a question we are all asking, as we do every new season but I'd like to think Kurashev will make the squad and have an impact.

 

[Muffinalt]

Suter I think is different category than the others, but Barratt is being slept on a little of he isnt even mentioned with Hagel, Entwistle etc. I think he will get some looks by the end of the season.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Suter and Carlsson

Pius Suter, no question.

Added him, thanks for pointing that out

suter and kurashev

He’d be my favorite outside of Suter, but I’m high on Entwistle. Big guy with a motor. Plays up and down no matter the level.

I think Entwhistle is a type that needs more seasoning. He was like the most improved guy in Rockford but of course big guys can take time.

Rockford probably won’t be playing. We’re gonna suck. Let Entwistle run people over with Z.

Just not a fan of Entwhistle's skating. But admittedly it's been a while since I watched him in Rockford.

I have really high hopes for him

Given the choices, it's a no-brainer: Suter.

Add Mitchell & Boqvist and now you have a riddle, lol.

Me too, but last time I saw him in person was OHL playoffs. I'm assuming he looks better now.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they're having an AHL season if Boqvist spends most of the year in Rockford. I still like him a lot but I knew when they took him he was going to take some time. I think the Hawks were sort of forced to bring him up last year because of all of the defensive injuries.

He will be on the hawks Jan 13th.

He will be on the hawks Jan 13th.

Idk.......maybe they send him down for a bit and get a look at Seabrook post-surgery.

 

[ClydeLee]

Boqvist will be on the Hawks Jan 13th... if the AHL starts It will probably be a bit later but they seem to be considering doing it.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I did not have an issue with Boqvist playing in the NHL last season.

I was in the camp that wanted him to stay in Rockford, but I think he handled himself well when he got called up. The offence isn't there yet, but the defence was better than expected.

I would like to see Beaudin up at some point too because I thought he was solid in his debut.

Compete (which by all accounts Entwhistle has in spades) can go a long way.

agreed on both counts, I look for Beaudin to get some time in the later half of the shortened season.

ya, he has that but there is a bit of a logjam at the moment. It will be interesting to see what happens when a pile of contracts end after this season and that is when I think Entwistle and Barratt really make a push to make the club.

Expiring Forward contracts after this season:

RFA
Kampf: replacable likely not signed
Nylander: f***ed if I know...
Wallmark: Sign him!

UFA
Janmark: please don't sign him
Smith: he is toast
Soderberg: please don't sign him

Carpenter is UFA the following year and if not traded prior to being UFA he won't be resigned

Do you see Wallmark as Kampf’s replacement then?

All depends on what happens with Strome. but not really, I see one of entwhistle or barratt being 4C although I could see entwhistle as a winger
