They have to add a lot of substantially talented D prospects to their system. Those typically take longer to develop than forwards. The Hawks are doing well in that regard and they’ve been a worse team when Brodie, Martinez, Jones, and Murphy are all in the lineup as opposed to the kids.

The Hawks are absolutely lacking in forward talent and Bedard is on an island out there. No denying that. I just don’t see how the Sharks are overwhelmingly perceived as having a better rebuild at this stage when they’re clearly a worse team than even the disasterous Blackhawks. Askarov most likely isn’t their answer in net either.
Imo the Sharks have Celebrini to build around and he’s a better 1C than Bedard. So that’s why the Sharks, to me, have the better rebuild going.
 
I’m not smug, I have an opinion. I can’t really be wrong about it until a few years from now. I explained that the sharks have 3 great young players, Blackhawks have a #1 OA struggling on an island. But sure, it’s me that you’re mad at, not the state of your team.
If Eklund is a great young player then so is Vlasic. If Smith is a great young player then Nazar is one hot streak away from qualifying as one as well.

Both teams have another top 5 pick coming to them this year. Both teams have plenty more prospects coming, but the Hawks have had more picks in the top 2 rounds of the draft over the last 3 seasons. Both teams also have more cap space than you could shake a stick at going forward as well.

I'm pretty Zen about the state of the Hawks.

I really like Nazar, but I don’t think he is equal to Will Smith as a prospect…

He’s not. Main difference in rebuilds is hawks really need to draft another high end forward and the sharks need to draft a high end defenseman. Hawks will probably take Schaefer if the ping pong balls so dictate because scouting but a second marquee forward would go a long way.
 
Are you suggesting I have a superiority complex because I'm not worried about the Hawks?

Seems pretty weak to call that "hostile" given some of the posts from Hawks fans in this thread.
The “you care about me, I don’t care about you” is a superiority complex and contradicted by your involvement in here imo.
