GDT: Deadwings @ Hawks, 6 Nov 2024, 7 PM CT

[shakes the clown]

Players and coaches do not tank. This just beyond stupid. What if they finished dead last in 2023 and picked second?

We'll never know because they didn't finish last. They finished second to last and picked second to last. The team that finished last tanked much better than us including the example I gave above. I understand players and coaches don't tank, but GM's sure do and they control the roster.

Hawks have screwed up the tank 2 years in a row including the Bedard draft year. Only reason we got Bedard is because we got lucky with ping pong balls.

Hawks need to tank correctly and get the most chances possible at that #1 pick.

Lukes coaching record is going to follow him to his next interview, and every one after that. He's not going to intentionally lose games.

No doodoo Sherlock. GMs are the ones in charge of tanking.

Time to give up on a 19 year old point per game player for sure

I gotta stop coming to this board so much

He's not a pt per game player. He has played 82 games in the NHL and has 73 pts.
25+48.

He was supposed to be walking 40 goal scorer and push 60 a few times and he's been anything but that.

He has had about the first 82 games I would have expected but he's been more of an elite playmaker than elite goal scorer. He was supposed to be both.

For reference, Kaner was 21+51=72 in his first 82 games.

Bedard has been around what I expected for his first 82 points wise, but it has been more assists than goals and that has been surprising.
