“I’m not as worried about the 5-on-5 scoring.”
Which young player do you think will have the most impact this season (beside Ian Mitchell)?

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.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.
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.
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.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.
Rockford probably won’t be playing. We’re gonna suck. Let Entwistle run people over with Z.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.
Added him, thanks for pointing that out
Me too, but last time I saw him in person was OHL playoffs. I'm assuming he looks better now.Just not a fan of Entwhistle's skating. But admittedly it's been a while since I watched him in Rockford.
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.Given the choices, it's a no-brainer: Suter.
Add Mitchell & Boqvist and now you have a riddle, lol.

Idk.......maybe they send him down for a bit and get a look at Seabrook post-surgery.He will be on the hawks Jan 13th.
Compete (which by all accounts Entwhistle has in spades) can go a long way.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.
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.

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
Do you see Wallmark as Kampf’s replacement then?
