If the Hawks want to sign and burn Rinzel Moore, James, Greene, Lardis, Thompson, and Harding the end of this year is gonna be so messy in a good and bad way. They need to clear out a ton of bodies on NHL and AHL.
We gonna be tracking like 12 guys pro debut.
Lardis won't be in the NHL, he'll go to Rockford. He's coming from the CHL and he's already signed.
Thompson and Harding are definitely not guys you need to provide NHL time for to entice to sign. If they won't sign, they're free wait it out and become UFAs.
James I don't see getting NHL time either, but who knows. Maybe they keep him on the roster and throw him into one game.
It's really just Rinzel, Moore and Greene.
Is there a way to get someone to ask the coach at Minnesota to compare Rinzel's game to Faber's game?
They're not comparable players really. Faber is a average-sized shutdown D with some offense. Rinzel is a big, toolsy transition D with some offense and a much less refined defensive game.
