Well there goes any chance of winning the cup this season.
22P in 68GP in his NHL career thus far, over a PPG in his final AHL season, over 100P in his final WHL season.
Should have been re-signed. Not a huge loss, but he's a guy who could develop into a nice bottom 6 forward.

Likely not much of a big deal in the end but these two posts. 100%.

Pretty good defensively and was quite physical.
I'm still pretty confused as to why we didn't keep him, but kept Peca and now Beaudin.

What's scary to me is how similar Hawryluk was as a prospect to Greig, who we just took 28th OVR.
Both are 5'11, played for Brandon, play an aggressive tenacious game and rack up lots of PIMs, and both have decent skill+skating but not top 6 quality.
Hopefully we get more out of Greig than Florida did out of Hawryluk.
Why even bother claiming him in the first place if you're not going to re-sign the guy for about league minimum after he puts up 7P/11GP?

And Hawryluk is 4YRs younger. Only one year older than guys like Chabot, White and Chlapik, who obviously aren't finished products yet.

Peace be upon you
How many 4th liners does this team need though? Watson is a much better player than Hawyrluk anyway and we are loaded with bottom 6 players right now. Formenton can get called up and probably provide what Hawyrluk did and then some, it need be, same with Abramov.

Are we seriously comparing Watson and Hawryluk? Watson is a very good PKer, almost half a foot taller, and has consistently handled heavy defensive deployment to a level that very few in the league have managed. Watson PKs a ton and does a good job at it. Hawryluk doesnt. Watson starts in the DZone a ton. Hawryluk doesnt. I'd have been totally fine with us bringing back Hawryluk, but by no means is he comparable to Watson.

I can't come up with a reasonable answer to that.
I mean what was the end game there? What did he NOT do to earn a spot? Like I said earlier, I doubt it ends up being a big deal but this management team just makes confusing move after confusing move with seemingly no plan in place.
Weird stuff.
If you think Hawryluk and Austin Watson are equivalent players then you need to reread "Hockey 101".

I mean I might be able to say the bolded line of thinking is fair enough but if so, then why sign Peca? He's more of the same only worse. If you're going to sign one of them, Hawryluk seemed like a far superior player in just about every facet of the game.
Doesn't make sense to me. It's a little thing but winning franchises pay attention to detail. This seems like the opposite of that.
I don't think Hawryluk is better at this time, but I'd gladly take him over Watson when you consider he makes 0.7M less, didn't cost a 4th round pick to sign, and is younger and has more offensive potential going forward.
