2024-25 Roster…too soon?

[TheFridge]

This has gone according to plan so far. Next step? Celebrini.

I like it. Let's bring back Toews while we're at it too.

Hall - Bedard - Kane
Foligno - Celebrini - Nazar
Reichel - Toews - Kurashev
Dickinson - Athanasiou - Donato

Vlasic - Jones
Kaiser - RHD TBD (Seabrook?)
Korchinski - Murphy

Mrazek
Soderblom

Switch it to be
move Hall to 2LW, Kurasehv to 1LW, and Foligno to 3RW and yeah. I doubt we'll bring either back though.

I think Toews is donezo. Seabrook too.

But maybe we could bring back Rundblad to appease those plus/minus nerds on the main boards.

I like Stephenson a lot. Duclair is a bit like AA and Blackwell is meh too. I'd rather explore some different options than Blackwell. The rest I could live with. Part of me wonders if they don't just re-sign Megna and then if EDM beats him out they just waive him. I don't know if they want to have so many young LD.

 

[Taze em]

I like it. Let's bring back Toews while we're at it too.

Hall - Bedard - Kane
Foligno - Celebrini - Nazar
Reichel - Toews - Kurashev
Dickinson - Athanasiou - Donato

Vlasic - Jones
Kaiser - RHD TBD (Seabrook?)
Korchinski - Murphy

Mrazek
Soderblom

I did this in NHL24. It felt unrealistic. But it was nice to have bedard pas la the cup to Toews and Kane.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Why not just go all young on LD and make a waiver claim, which is what Megna was, if you need to?

 

[TheFridge]

I think Toews is donezo. Seabrook too.

But maybe we could bring back Rundblad to appease those plus/minus nerds on the main boards.

Toews might be done but Seabrook? Nah that guy wants back in for sure.

Bring back Toews? Be for real, that dude is retired.

He's a phone call away from unretiring.

Dreaming up front, realistic in the back. It's like the anti-mullets of potential Hawks rosters.

Hall, Bedard, Kane? After they lose the draw the puck never leaves the Hawks zone until the linesman gets it out of their net.

 

[TLEH]

I mean they’re familiar with him. He’s a local. Just thought it was easy enough. Easy enough to sign and not play as a 7th D and let the kids go. Easy enough to waive if the kids are good. Not that I think he’s good or anything, but if you’re banking on picking someone up on waivers you might get someone you aren’t comfortable with. Or be forced to play a kid who isn’t going well, too long.

[Dr Salt]

Unlikely, I would not mind kicking the tires on the big fish in Sam Reinhart. Marschasseault is probably my favorite available UFA when factoring cost though.

Both obvious upgrades.

This is sarcasm, right? Lol

Nazar-Bedard-Kane
Hall-Celebrini-Reinhart
Reichel-Moore-Kurashev
Foligno-Dickinson-AA

How’s that for an upgraded group of forwards?

Not sure if he’ll be there to start the season but I’d love to eventually see Moore at some point. Lots of speed and skill throughout all 4 lines if things go as planned. Let’s get it done!

Or be forced to play a kid who isn’t going well, too long.

I think you give Isaak Phillips to be on the team that he can go out and take, then waive him if necessary, rather than bring back a veteran with plans to waive Phillips from the jump.

Find a legitimate top 6 winger that can win pucks to play with Bedard and Kurashev (don’t love the market here: Debrusk? Mantha if his give a shit meter is on?)

Find a top 6 caliber center to play with Reichel. (Stephenson, Monahan). Would love to bin Athanasiou and upgrade that to Sprong/Toffoli but I don’t think that’s happening

Round it out with a capable bottom pairing right shot defenseman and a capable backup

Bertuzzi and Marchessault are fits for the top six wing

Stephenson or Wennberg as middle six Cs

I like Carrier or Chatfield as D pickups

I also anticipate they add a number 7 who is a vet they wouldn’t mind sitting so they don’t have a kid sitting. Maybe a Scandella type

Goaltending anyone beats Soda. Hell bring back Stalock

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

I don't think he resigned here unless he got some reassurance from management that they'll make some real changes. I really don't see any reason why Blackwell, Entwistle, R. Johnson, T. Johnson, Menga, Raddysh, Soderblom, Tinordi, and Zaitsev should be on this team next year. Not saying you go out and blow your money on someone like Reinhart, but it's time to actually add some real NHL talent, especially around Bedard

Agree those mentioned should be gone. The team needs also size up front.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

What do y’all think Bertuzzi, Marchessault, Stephenson, and Teräväinen would cost in FA? Not saying they should sign all 4 lol, but what could the term and money look like? I think they should try to sign 2 of those players

soda is under contract so maybe bring in another VET on a 1 year deal and start him in Rockford or a waiver pcikup and SODA starts out slow send him down. I would also consider bringing back Zaitsev on a 1 year deal. hard to find RD plus if would allow us to move Murp (if for the love of god he can stay healthy) at 50% closer to the trade deadline. him at 2.2 for 2 years should bring back a high pick he can make it to FEB healthy.

They are all upgrades but I would love Domi back. Also Tyler Toffoli would be a nice pickup.
