@obvious_shirts Is it too early to consider a rebuild? The farm system is not strong. The mlb roster has older guys I don’t see a way back to competitiveness. The window is closing.
@SEllisHockey The Pridham situation is a by product of the Hawks having too many prospects. Davidson will need to make trades this summer !! Can't accumulate kids forever.
@63champs@BenPopeCST Read the article, there won't be any good free agents to sign. We are stuck with watching kids learn on the job or a trade, Need some good trades!
@BenPopeCST Great article, which points out that Davidson's original plan will need an adjustment. I think the change in the cap will delay the Hawks playoff timeline. I don't want to be right, but without FA signings don't see us trading our way into a playoff team. Big test for Davidson.
@capihood@WatchMarquee It will be interesting to see how long they let him go in his next outing. I think they were a little overly cautious this time. Should get 70 -80 pitches next time. Also he’s been inconsistent in his career. If he can stay in a game for 75 pitches I’d be happy.
@capihood@WatchMarquee I’ll defer to the coaches but 6 more pitches than 40 on 4/27 is not stretching out. My guess is counsell wanted to end the outing on a positive note. Let the kid feel good and build from there.
@BenPopeCST Good article. I would add his (Arty) body is NHL ready, while his mind is low level AHL. A minus 41 player probably should not be in the NHL. Let him learn the basics of being a defenseman in Rockford. Like Blashill said, "He really piled up the minuses" Ugly
@BenPopeCST I’m referring to the D men and Jay Zawaski’s post game recap. He did state the defenseman had hits in the final 10 minutes. Were the 7 hits from defensemen? Was Jay wrong?
@MarkLazerus it sounds like great hockey but with games at 9am and 2pm on a weekday most hockey fans cannot see these games. I understand why the NHL hesitates to shutdown the league for games most fans cannot see live.
@PWSullivan@WSJ If you thought Trump hired incompetent people here’s your confirmation. Thanks @PWSullivan for sharing. Reminder this is the WSJ, not a left leaning company.
@CHGO_Blackhawks The Honeymoon for Davidson will end soon. Ben Pope had a good article on the state of affairs and it's not all good. I'm optimistic but concerned with the young D and Nazar's development
@jayzawaski@CHGO_Blackhawks This is a roster with about 10 nhl players. Better than last year when they had maybe 5 nhl players. Still an embarrassment most nights.
