@MikeRockChiBear@BenPopeCST Agreed! BTW, I'm done with drafting so many kids who take so long to develop. Hawks need guys old enough to grow a playoff beard! While they likely overpaid, I'm glad they added a productive adult into the mix.
@BenPopeCST Do you think the Hawks do this deal if SJ didn't trade for Kesselring? Sharks sent a signal that they took the next step last season & wanted to add a veteran. Hawks seem to be saying the same: we're done drafting guys who will take years to develop. Thoughts?
@Super70sSports Because back then:
1) the NBA still played basketball not glorified summer league
2) as a team
3) which meant passing was a thing
4) the 2 was as important as the 3
5) and, of course, Larry J. Bird
@h_kirk6@TheHockeyNews Yep. The NHL exposes too many good players to the expansion draft, allowing the new teams to quickly leap frog teams that have spent years scouting, drafting, developing, and acquiring talented players.
