Davidson's Performance Evaluation Thread (read OP)

[Hawkaholic]

And yet we just gave away #4 + #45 and a young RD

Doesn't sound like management believes they are still rebuilding

And got a way better Dman back who is the same age. You can make moves and still be rebuilding, I know, hard concept for you to get.

The guy we just picked up is a 4th overall pick and the same age as the "young RD" we just dealt.

Forget the whole trade for a second. And forget contracts too. I'm just curious from a hockey standpoint what you guys think. If we assume McKenna, Stenberg, and Reid go 1,2,3, would you guys rather have Carels or Malhotra than Byram?

Pure hockey standpoint he's obviously an immediate upgrade but you can't assess this kind of trade that way. It really depends what the extension comes in at. If it's reasonable then I'd take Byram but still not love adding on to get him. If it's a bad contract that threatens the future health of the cap sheet I'd probably rather have the younger guy with more team control.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Yeah, I'm out.

The Byram trade is the kind of perfect storm of overpayment, poor talent evaluation, and complete lack of understanding of where your team stands that it completely undermines any faith in the rebuild going forward.

I was behind KD because he was showing patience and commitment to a plan. Even if I didn't agree with particular choices like Lev over Demidov, they still fell within the bounds of the long-term vision for this build.

You were a canes fan even before this trade.

By adding a 25 year old?

No you weren’t lmfao you were marking out for every other team but this one.

You were glazing teams that only drafted forwards LeMao

I would've gone Malhotra. Love me a potential 2-way power forward pivot and I feel we need more forward help rather than help on defense.

Carels I could see becoming something similar to Byram, more D, less O, but similar caliber of player.

Carels then Malhotra, both over Byram

We are stuck w him but after this move I have completely lost faith in Davidson.

mainboard thread about KD gotta be some of the dumbest shit posted about Hawks in a bit...you'd think he sold everything for Byram...the #1 pipeline, the 3 1sts in 27....Frondell...etc etc...just a brutal thread

The same Davidson who got Spencer Knight AND a FRP for Seth Jones and you lost faith in him because he made a trade you did not like.

Seriously?

Not sure what you mean?

You did yourself for reading that poison.

People do realize GMs will not be announcing what moves they’re working on or looking into right? Davidson could do something massive tomorrow and he won’t be saying shit.

They just love Kantserov a lot and want him to know it.

Now that KK is done in Chicago, can we put some of these old amateur scouts' pelts on the wall?

start with the guy that said Lev never got beat at MSU...not because Lev was a bad pick but because even Matthew Schaefer got walked last year...
