2024-25 Roster…too soon?

[Hattrick Kane]

Y’all taking about this guy? He's potting 50 this year.

 

[Hawkaholic]

This wouldn't be a terrible opening night lineup. I mean, relative to last year.

Teravainen - Bedard - Bertuzzi
Hall - Kurashev - Reichel
Foligno - Dickenson - Mikhehev
Donato - Anthanasiou - Slaggert
Smith

Martinez-Jones
Vlasic-Brodie
Kaiser-Murphy

Mrazek
Brossoit

I doubt we'll have any reliable secondary scoring tbh, not that I'm disappointed with that.

Just maximize Bedard's development and otherwise please god finish in the bottom 5. I honest thought it was a guarantee that we walked away from the 2024 draft with a blue chip forward prospect. We need that guy ASAP, especially considering development time. Unless it's Hagens/McKenna he probably wont be ready to contribute at a high level until 2028-29 ish

Vlasic first pair, o/w looks reasonably correct to start off with.

Richardson said he was probably splitting up Vlasic/Jones, and these have been the D partners in most of the practices.

 

[MHO]

I like the idea of splitting Vlasic and Jones in the preseason. Luke said that he knows that pair will always be there and why not see what it looks like when they are on 2 separate pairs in a game that doesn't count?

[BHawk21]

Kaprizov-Bedard-Bertuzzi
Teravainen-Frondell-Nazar
Kurashev-Dickinson-Moore
Slaggart-Ludwinski-Spellacy

 

[GIADF]

I get him wanting out of Minnesota, that part is easy to understand...

But it seems odd he'd want to come to Chicago while they're still at the beginning of a rebuild, but obviously I'd love to have him here.

2026 could very well be when they’re ready to compete for the playoffs. That’s still two years away. Two very good draft picks likely to be made, some prospects likely stepping up.

It makes a lot of sense.

Go figure. He’s a moron

 

[BHawk21]

I will guarantee that Laz acts like a victim because people ran with his story.

 

[Joemoe]

Even if he had Kaprizov himself saying that I wouldn't really care because so much can happen from now and then, maybe get me hyped if he is actually about to be a free agent and not years from now.

Exactly. Oh wow July 2026? I’ll be sure to hold my breath the next 20 months while that shakes out.

Well... RIP brother. Was nice to meet ya a couple times.

 

[Northernhawk]

With LA losing Drew Doughty to injury how about a Seth Jones trade to the Kings…say for a top 10 protected 1st and Akil Thomas?

Kings do not have the cap space

Ah yes let’s just wait and prays he signs or trade a ton for just like we did jones 10/10 plan

 

[MHO]

Any idea the last time a player of Kaprizov's caliber reached free agency in his 20s? I believe Hossa was 30 and I'm struggling to remember anyone else...

EDIT: Maybe Panarin or Tavares if you want to argue his value at the time

If Kaprizov is really intent on leaving, he's gonna get traded to a team that he's willing to extend with, and it's not gonna be the Hawks.

Probably true but I wouldn't count out the Hawks on a trade. He's currently under a $9M cap hit and the Hawks will have the space next year plus a bunch of young players/picks to offer the Wild. But would the Wild trade him within the division even if the Hawks give the best offer?

 

[Paul Allen]

If Kaprizov is really intent on leaving, he's gonna get traded to a team that he's willing to extend with, and it's not gonna be the Hawks.

He’ll be a ufa at the end of this contract. The Wild have no leverage, especially if he wants to go to a certain divisional rival.

And it’d be silly to trade him at the deadline if they are in a playoff position next year.

 

[ello]

Yeah seems like recently big names in their prime like that always seem to get walked to UFA either way since the team isn’t willing to fully give in on hope that they sign (Stamkos in 2016, Tavares, Panarin)

I could be forgetting someone but I doubt they trade Kaprisov unless he demands a trade for whatever reason and just use him as an own rental and just cross their fingers he changes his mind

I could see him signing here. We can pay him as much as anybody. Really depends on how much progression our system shows in the next 2 years
