Vlasic on the third pair is.....interesting.

that phillips-jones pair is eye watering.

Vlasic on the third pair is.....interesting.

He has gone full Costanza and is just trying to get fired at this point.

Phillips... from scratched to top pairing. What.

Yes, put your best defenseman on the 3rd pairing. Vlasic and Jones should be stapled together.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Vlasic will still play his 18 minutes of ES TOI plus his PK1 and possible PP2 time.

 

[Hawkaholic]

lol Vlasic isn't on the 3rd pair.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Vlasic will still play his 18 minutes of ES TOI plus his PK1 and possible PP2 time.

Or so we hope. You never know with LR.

He lead all Hawks skaters in ice time by a solid minute last night.

 

[Clownish]

It couldn't possibly be to get Phillips more reps in practice. Gotta be a worst case scenario so we can rage here.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Vlasic's our best defender. If he's on the third pair, it's because he's having to baby sit.

 

[TheFridge]

Phillips is pretty clearly just filling in for Martinez.

Nothing is clear with this coaching staff.

That's fair enough but we know Richardson doesn't care for Phillips much. If it were Allan there, I'd think something of it.

 

[Giovi]

Not sure why LR would replace Allan with Phillips in practice, unless the plan is to do the same in the next game.

Right? It's not like Martinez is close to playing either. I really hope the plan isn't to play Vlasic with Brodie in an actual game.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Korchinski traded for the right return, to be honest.

In fact, I might even prefer it if we can get some young help at forward.

If Korch is traded, it would have to be a damn good player coming back. I also wonder if it says how they feel about Nazar if they’re willing to make a trade right now instead of waiting for him.

 

[BHawk21]

Rinzel+ for Lundell in the offseason. Florida will need money to pay for Bennett and need cheap defenseman coming in.

Lundell is only 23 and can play a good defensive center game.

Bertuzzi-Bedard-Rantanen
Tuevo-Lundell-Nazar

Fin hawks

I'm not suggesting they sell low or give him away.

However, with the emergency of Vlasic, them then drafting Lev 2OA, not to mention who knows what we have in Rinzel.... Korch's role is just less of a need and we're struggling to put together a line for Bedard to thrive with. Allan might be a rock as a second or third pairing guy as well.

I could see Korchinski being the odd man out eventually.

Lundell is locked up at 5M per until 2030. He's one of the last guys Florida is moving.

Outside of Bedard, I think Lev and Rinzel are 1a and 1b on my do not trade list.

I would add Nazar to that too just because we need the young forwards.

Not a huge fan of Nazar anymore. Was excited when he was drafted but I no longer think he's anything special.

I'm higher on Boisvert and Moore at this point.

I mean sure but every team is eyeing this type of deal

I don't think we've seen enough to draw any conclusions, and lets not forget he had an injury that knocked him out a while as well.

If he doesn't perform well in Rockford this year then I can see the cause for concern.
