Should the hawks give Kane the C for the start of the season and hand it down to bedard either this year or when Kane retirees? Or should it just go to Bedard now?
@BarstoolChief This projected top line would be third line on most playoff teams. This is comical that the hawk GM believes the team is good to start the season looking like this. Place the Calder Cup winners of the AHL vs the hawks and they likely make it a game or beat this team. SMH
@Harian_Mossa@ThatFio I don’t see why they don’t try this. Especially if the cost isn’t too high. I mean he is someone that can play with the team, won’t face as much pressure, mutually beneficial. Ideally there is some retention from VAN. If so, this is worth a shot. Could be mutually beneficial.
Cutter should ask for 16+. Verbeek can’t tell him he is crazy. He outscored and had more points than Leo last year. Verbeek is in a pickle regardless but that would be comical to watch unfold.
Quite a weight off Kyle Davidson’s shoulders (no pun intended). Now he has the built in excuse of no Bedard the first month+ to gain another year of a crapass product with zero accountability.
@BarstoolChief Imagine having a real player that is experienced that can help this squad develop while he is gone or with him when he gets back. Makes too much sense. Good thing he got a fourth line hitter and zero help on the front end.
@BarstoolChief Davidson could’ve supported this roster with more. His idea of having bedard help this ENTIRE roster grow under him was stupid. Now it’s even worse when they won’t have this guy for atleast a few months. If he does the right thing, this doesn’t set them back as much. FIRE him.
@MarkLazerus@ByScottPowers They are closer to Dupont then they are from getting out last place of the central. Let alone winning and making a push of any respectful size.
@NHLBlackhawks@FriedgeHNIC Kyle Davidson set this team up to rely solely on him all next season. Great to hear this entire roster taking step (which is already wishful) will have yet another year of setbacks. Get better experienced players for these kids and this doesn’t happen. #DupontSweepstakes
Blackhawks should be a in a great for Landon Dupont next summer.
Will there be a single season under this brutal GM that doesn’t end in last place of the central? Doubt it.
Verbeek should not match this contract. Take the 4 1st rounders and trade 3 and change for Petterson. Keep a center and save 7 million. Helps settle the short term for now until the expensive vets come off the board.
Helps VAN and Verbeek stays relevant
