Mikheyev gets too much hate around here.

He's a good 4th liner that forechecks aggressively and, along with Dickinson, takes the toughest assignments among all forwards.

But go ahead and keep jerking off Lukas Reichel.

I actually like Mikheyev….. just on the 4th line.

It’s just sad he’s somehow on the second line.

Hall being scratched also makes no sense because realistically we don’t have anyone better and should be trying to build his trade value.

I thought Hall had a good game last outing.

Time to see if a kid can step up like Vlasic did. I imagine Phillips is coming back up.
You're dreaming.

Bedard still with two bums.
Actually, 3 bums the way the alleged teen phenom has played much of this season. And if Donato is a bum what does it say about the other forwards? He certainly has outplayed Bedard this season.


.... and HF50 has a point about Hawks player failures to play with short crisp passes and play the game more between the dots, off the boards. Not to mention the regularity of shots that go wide.

Friedman saying that multiple teams are looking around the league for a forward with jam. They could probably sell high on Donato fairly soon, before his shooting percentage comes back down to earth.

They pissed away picks all offseason. I think they probably look at it like they need him more than what he's worth. (For the record I disagree with their pick usage).

Until they call up Nazar, bums are the only options available

Unless they can get a 1st, they're just going to re-sign Donato

Rock and a hard place I guess. Just let him walk for nothing? Or maybe give a guy who’s never been above .5 PPG a bloated extension?

It’s still a rebuild to me so I would take the picks, but Davidson is weird so who the hell knows what his plan is at this point.

I could see them trading him, but not until the TDL.
