I hope he’s gone next season. I think we’ll see more Rockford kids up next year and I don’t want him setting up some dumb system for them while they learn the NHL game.
I have HIGH expectations for the kids next season.
I expect Nazar to be full time with the Hawks at some point this season.
But next year I want to see Slaggert, Savoie, Spellacy, Moore, Korchinski, EDM, Lev, Rinzel (if he's signed), Commesso, and whoever else wants to knock the doors down.
There's a lot of replacement level guys on the roster currently. Athanasiou, Maroon, Smith, Anderson, Brodie, Martinez, Murphy... I don't want to see any of them next year. Kids need to take their spots.
