Bedard VS Celebrini

[Fatass]

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.

Boy does the Sharks' rebuild ever live rent-free in the heads of Hawks fans. Meanwhile we don't give a crap about Chicago.

Looks like you gave enough of one to comment though, Don.

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.

I never said he was. I just think its weird to count Smith as a "great young player" when he hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire in his rookie season. 8 points in his last 9 games is great though. We'll see if he can keep it up.

Commenting on Hawks fans getting hostile about the Sharks for no reason isn't giving a crap about the Hawks rebuild, sorry!

A superiority complex is pretty “hostile”

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.

TIL it is hostile to not care about the Hawks.

Mack junior for sure.

I just don't like people who are weirdly smug while being wrong.

It would be cool if you could explain why the Sharks are "building" and the Blackhawks aren't.

He's def being smug AF but as a Hawks fan, there's no denying the Sharks right now have the much better younger talent and prospect pool and appear to be ahead of us.

Bedard
Levshunov
Nazar
Moore
Korchinski
Reichel
Vlasic
etc

IMO, doesn't compare to

Celebrini
Smith
Eklund
Dickinson
Askarov
Musty
Thrun
Cagnoni
etc
