Korchinski caused a little brawl to start which is good energy to see

He did this quite a bit in juniors but since hasn't carried over much. But he was a 19 year old going up against grown men last year. This is nice to see he isn't backing down again.
There's no talent in Rockford anymore. Literally all of their top guys are in the NHL now.

Honestly they should consider sending Kurashev down to help them out since he's not part of future plans anyway

I seriously thought they meant DJ King the ex enforcer who has to be like 46.
He also played wing.

He's an all offense fourth liner that brings a bit of edge but he's a mess defensively. He's like this version of Reichel but far worse defensively without the upside.

So you expect Korchinski and Levshunov to create everything offensively or for AHL/ECHL guys to bury chances by any pass they give them? Joey Anderson and Cole Guttman are solid AHL players but that's literally it. And both guys don't play on the same D pairing.

No I was agreeing with you. Kinda like Jones coming in and putting up 51 pts when the Hawks had guys who could score and then taking a hit in production the last couple years.
If you don't have forwards that can score D production will take a hit.
I agree.
It's going to be really packed this off-season on D.
Vlasic, Korchinski, Del Mastro and Allan on the left side.
Jones, Murphy, Crevier on the right side. Brodie as a 7th.
We should not bring in anyone clearly, and the eventual injuries will hit, but one of those young guys is going to lose our on a spot early.

Was he that bad defensively? All I really remember was good motor, small, and quick.

KK looks so much better than he did last year. You gotta watch guys.

Not to me. Love his game. I'd like a roster that attacks in waves and just outscores their problems. Guttman brings three positives like you said. Great motor, good wheels and above average offensive talent. I want that in my bottom six.
NHL coaches for the most part don't. They want low event forwards that can just eat hard minutes with nothing happening for either team.
To me a guy like Athanasiou is an elite fourth liner. Pair him with a sound defensive center and winger that bring nothing offensively. Let them chip pucks in front of AA and let AA be a monster in transition. Pair him with a sound nothing Swede/Fin center and a hard working nothing big North American winger and you've got a fourth line teams have to be afraid of.

Why watch the games when you can watch the stat line?

That’s a take.
Korchinski is a great skater. Boqvist skated like he had 20 pounds of dead weight strapped to him.
