Since there's no kids getting their icetime wasted on the 2nd line its not a big deal leaving that spot open for a kid to take.So what are we looking at?
Bertuzzi - Bedard - Kurashev
Hall - AA - Teravainen
Foligno - Dickinson - Mikheyev
Reichel - Donato - Smith
Maroon, Anderson
Vlasic - Jones
Martinez - Murphy
Allan - Brodie
Kaiser
Mrazek
Soderblom
Brossoit
Not getting another capable center in I think looks a bit bad right now. Nothing crazy, but would be nice to have someone legit.
you gotta try slightly harder than that man damnBustchinski

My thoughts:Thoughts-
Pretty sure Richardson is separating Jones and Vlasic to try to spread out. Doubt it'll work but I understand why. Third pair will be Allan-Murphy.
Nazar, please start hot in Rockford so we can punt AA.
I really actually love that Foligno Dickinson Mikheyev. That's a real, actual winning shutdown line I think.
With your lineup, which I think is mostly right, the 2nd line will be getting destroyed and the first line will likely get destroyed (relative to their elite competition they'll draw). They'll get theres but they gonna get got alot.
Still waiting on the cubs 2024 wildcardAllan makes the team while Bustchinski, whom alot of people here had above Jones on the depth chart, is in Rockford.
Nazar was only 2C in the NHL on this forum.
Wasn't Allan a Bowman pick? Funny how the best young defenseman on the Hawks are Bowman picks....
