Passing up Kopitar for Skille was way worse.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Passing up Kopitar for Skille was way worse.

Toews followed up by Kopitar. Wow that would have been dirty.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Passing up Kopitar for Skille was way worse.

They are both equally bad.

Didn't see that. We drafted Jack Skille 7th overall?!?!

I mean, hindsight is 20/20, but God damn.

It seemed like quite a reach even at the time to many. Even more of one with 20/20. Oh well.

Not at all, at least Tallon saved face with that pick for the Hawks by offering up a good lower line cog in Frolik.

I actually used to remember already feeling bad about Beach over Myers, yeah well there are several ways that could of gone... but Tallon needed that power forward force to protect Kaner and Toews eh. Outside of top 3 picks, Tallon isn't very good at drafting it seems, but he gets those most critical ones right.

 

[ChiGuySez]

Toews followed up by Kopitar. Wow that would have been dirty.

Consider this. If Toews and Kane didnt appear in their rookie year, the Hawks would be in line to draft #1... Stamkos.

Actually Im glad it didnt happen. Couldnt afford to keep him anyways and some things were not meant to be. Im fine with how things worked out.

 

[HockeySauce]

Things have worked out perfectly.

 

[Blue Liner]

Yeah, five WCF appearances, three Cups & counting, countless other hardware and organization-resurrecting from the dead later, I'd say it all worked out quite well.

 

[GindyDraws]

So, uh, are the Blackhawks gonna tour the Cup at Rockford & Indy next season? I'd make the trip to see the replica of Lord Stanley's modified 50 guinea investment at the Coliseum.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Omg I am definitely going to the Hogs game when the cup comes to visit

Wasn't sure where else to put this. Auston Matthews' Switzerland plans seem to foiled in account of visa issues.

Wonder if another overseas league is an option or if Everett is it. Silvertips secretly must be throwing a party upon hearing this news.

 

[Bubba88]

I'd welcome him in Germany for my hometown Team

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That's an interesting legal caveat. Also probably something his inner circle should've known before they started the whole process, too (especially with the apparent precedent of a Serbian soccer player being unable to play in Switzerland as he also lacked a year of professional experience).

 

[HockeySauce]

Panarin - Teravainen - Dano
Hartman - Danault - Schmaltz
McNeill - Hayden - Olofsson
Knott - Hinostroza - Motte
Louis/Baun/Ross

Pokka - Johns
Forsling - TvR
Norell - Dahlstrom
Snuggerud/Press/Fournier

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

What is the lineup exactly supposed to be?

 

[Idionym]

What is the lineup exactly supposed to be?

The Auston Matthews 2016 squad.

Or the prospect team.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Duh. Yeah my bad. Not a bad looking squad

 

[GGGHawks18]

Dano instantly become our #1 prospect?

 

[Teemu]

Dano instantly become our #1 prospect?

Certainly, if you don't count Teuvo.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hawks literally have nothing in pipeline outside of Nalimov in net

Need to pursue prospect G options going forward

 

[ClydeLee]

Technically Schmaltz may be higher but when you're still a year or 2 away from the NHL you get that mysterious, he has a lot of potential to develop into more hype.

Raanta and Darling are perfect examples that they don't. Via the draft, anyways.

Hawks website has a D-man by the name Liambas listed "in the system".

[HockeySauce]

Yep, that'd be the one. Apparently converted to D after the OHL. Complete POS.
