GDT: 2024 Blackhawks training camp

[Chelios]

I like Ryder but there's not a whole lot there.

He has good speed, works hard and seems to know where to be in general. He is not going to be his dad, but could definitely see him carving out a bottom 6 role in the NHL at some point.

I put zero emphasis on a pre-preseason game when they had what 1 or 2 practices since the offseason? It's not even worth watching IMO never mind evaluating players. Imagine not playing in 6 months then being tossed out there in two games.

Though it's a good point, at the same time the players knew these early games were coming up and that various scouts would be watching. The borderline, character guys who know well they need to make an impression will come in as prepared as possible (preferably by getting some time on the ice beforehand). Character counts. Lud, Spellacy and Rolston come to mind, as does Lardis, before he got sick.

I’d be pretty shocked if Ryder is anything.

Columbus is apparently in the trade market for a forward still. We have a bunch of forwards under contract already not including Nazar. Could send someone their way if playing time ends up being an issue for someone.

i don't know that the hawks have a forward to trade for anything of value columbus could offer. still a very shallow team, particularly on right wing.

Yea I dont see an NHL player there at all. Most bottom 6 players on good teams were actually pretty good prospects who were just marginally too slow mentally or physically (hands, feet) to create offense consistently in the NHL. Obviously there are exceptions, but you usually need to have outstanding defensive value

Rolston doesnt even come close, imo

The athletic projection

Either Nazar or Kurashev at second center

So they're calling KK in Rockford. Hmm ...

AA has played far more centre than Kurashev, they should be swapped.

There was talk of AA at centre. Guy has wheels and not much else.

Dont see Donato being happy with being slotted as a bench player after his last 3 or so years.

Kurashev is a center?

Who cares if he's happy or not?

Honealty such random picks with Kurashev at C, Reichel and Mikheyev on RW, Brodie on LD Martinez at RD.

KK not being there, Kaiser and Phillips making it.

Like why?
