2024-25 Roster…too soon?

[Hawkaholic]

Hate to be the one to tell ya, but Reichel ain't a prospect anymore.

He's a 12F on the second worst team in the league.

7th on the team in points 5 on 5
7th on the team in points per minute played.

He isn't the 12th best forward

Who would you take out of the top 9?

Mikheyev, Foligno

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Reichel has improved this year.
Not a star player of course, but still improved.

he's 22 and in his first full nhl season, so you'll excuse the imprecise language. could have said "player" rather than "prospect" and it would have still applied. the young players you want them to bury and devalue even further are also the young players you want them to trade the most.

Mikheyev, Foligno

But where did he get those 5on5 points? More playing with the 4th liner types because they battled and won pucks with physical play.

Is he going to produce more with guys who get the puck or not? He's mainly producing when he is in that spot.

Mikheyev, Foligno

We don’t talk about it much but Foligno is mostly invisible or bad this year outside of his leadership and face punching moments. I still wouldn’t take him out of the top 9 though I feel he should be on the ice more than that as captain.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Mikheyev, Foligno

Both better than Reichel.

Mik is the best defensive forward on the team, and a great forechecker.

Foligno plays with a physical edge Reichel couldn't dream of.

Reichel doesn't deserve play time over those two.

A whole bunch of dumbness here the last few pages

Your opinion doesn't count.

 

[GIADF]

I've about given up on Reichel at this point, but I'd still try one more pairing with him to see if there is anything there.

Why not give him a 5-game stretch with Nazar to see how their speed pairs well? Throw TT on the other wing and it would probably be about the only time he's played with guys who have speed and aren't complete black holes offensively.

 

[MicronMega]

TDL move Martinez and Donato then drop Moore and Rinzel in the line up for a few weeks. Let the kids roll

Moore and Rinzel will still be playing at Minnesota come the trade deadline. There’s a very good chance their season doesn’t end until the hawks have 2 games left

They'll definitely make NCAA Tournament, which would put them in Regionals March 28-30. From there, it will depend if they make it out and into the Frozen Four, which would be April 10th and 12th. So it's a two week gap depending upon what happens there.

He's got no dog in him. He needs to watch Hagel's game for 24 hours before games......

 

[statswatcher]

reichel is generational at entering the offensive zone, carrying the puck behind the opposition's net, running into two defenders, and losing the puck.

If he tried to play like Hagel he’d be even more worthless. He doesn’t have the physical ability for that.

reichel is generational at entering the offensive zone, carrying the puck behind the opposition's net, running into two defenders, and losing the puck.

For a few games he was carrying the puck into the zone with speed, pumping the brakes and dishing it off to those entering the zone behind him, setting them up for an opportunity. I’d argue that’s his strength and what he should be trying to do. Instead, yeah he does what you said.

im sorry but in what world does bringing up players like Allen and Dach to have them sit behind worthless Veterans make sense.

maybe theyre heading back down but are practicing for same reason as levshunov, but yeah its puzzling, either play them consistently or leave them in rockford
