He wasn't in the lineup today. I turned the game on about a minute late and saw Zernov skating with Mikhailis and Silantyev - so I watched a few line changes and didn't see him on the ice. So I thought maybe he got a major penalty or ejected but when I checked the live summary and lineup - he wasn't. I just went and checked again and now the scoring summary has him picking up a secondary assist but he's still not listed in the lineup. Weird!
So you're saying he's so good he picks up points from the press box?!

Nah .... probably not quite that good.

Here's the box score i use: it shows him getting the second assist on Joseph's goal at 17:21 of the 3rd period but he isn't listed in the lineup and I didn't see him on the ice in the 15 minutes I watched. What happened - did he join the game late?

 
If Lardis was a prospect for a Canadian team we would be hearing him talked about as going top 10 in a 2023 redraft. But Hawks have no impact forwards in pipeline. Just the highest p/gp player in the AHL, the top scorer in the KHL, and the top scorer in the CHL and like 6 hobey baker candidates. Damn near a continental sweep.

Couldn’t agree more. Compare him to Easton Cowan for instance. One was touted as the savior of team Canada and is considered a top prospect. One was not even invited to the selection camp.

Yet Lardis is blowing Cowan out of the water this year. That’s life as a Hawks fan, all of our prospects seem to be ignored, from HF to elsewhere.

While at the same time being ignored or discounted by Hawks fans.

Lardis is certainly an interesting prospect. If he translates to the pro game, then we’re golden.
 
Can anyone help me with an EP account or whatever tool… I’d like to know the hit rate for Goal per Game CHLers in their U20 season. What percentage became NHL players and what percentage became stars?

I wouldn't go that far on Lardis. I'm happy to see his numbers in the OHL but I want to see production in the pros before getting excited. That said, when I watch the tape, I see Patrick Sharp in his game.

And few teams have more than 1 bona fide impact forward in their pipeline anyway. Like the Hawks, they have a bunch that could be great but we don't know. The problem is the Hawks don't have anyone up on the big club other than Bedard that we're sure will put pucks in the net.
 
A little WJC retroactive

Special teams have been good for this years Hawks. 5x5 has been god awful. Moore should be one of the players that ends/reduces those extended D zone clusterF#%ks that happen so often.

You're not accounting for the Maple Leaf effect, where, on the strength of being a Leaf prospect Cowan is automatically a great bronze God of all that is hockey.... in the minds of the Canadian hockey press anyway.

Playing on the correct side of the puck, constant hustle and very high motor, always harassing the opponent…he’s going to be a fan favorite, but will likely disappoint with lowish point totals.
