Value of: Kevin Korchinski

[TheBeard]

The 20 year old AHL All star Kevin Korchinski?

Hey, no shame in being a perennial AHL all-star. Higher drafted players have had worse ceilings.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Well, Korchinski wasn't and now he's looking like a fringe middle pairing D-man at best.

Middle-pairing is not a bad result for a 1st round pick defenseman. I'd be happy with that.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

It will be incredible if the Hawks end up with Levshunov and Misa instead of Demidov and Schaefer (two clearly better players) because of drafting for need - first we need a D, and then the next year oops we need a F.

very well could happen

 

[TheBeard]

It’s almost like you don’t even know who the Chicago brass are and should open your ears instead of your mouth.

You’re right. In three years Kyle has taken the reins and has this team trending towards 31st place.

The word I used was fringe, but hey if that’s what you want out of a 7th overall pick then I’m happy for you guys.

Yes, that's how a rebuild works.

this was the intention when he took the job lol otherwise they still have hagel, debrincat, kane etc

 

[TheBeard]

What I love about your rebuild is it’s in year like 5 and out of the top six scorers only one is under 28 (would have been 6 of 7 if they didn’t trade Seth Jones).

yea hopefully he doesnt end up an Askarov.

Oddly, Patrick Kane would still be the Hawks best player.

A guy who put up similar numbers to Blackwood who is now playing at a Vezina level in Colorado?

They started trading off assets almost exactly three years. I know you dont care and ur trying to troll but just to let you know that wasnt a good one.

Year 5? lol

The tear-down began with the Hagel trade almost exactly 3 years ago. March 18, 2022.

The guy who was an AHL player until 22 and has a 3.10 and .896. Theres no way a young guy can get better. Ceiling maxed at 20.

 

[Northernhawk]

Hawks have a lot of defensemen in the pipeline and could potentially add Matthew Schaefer this draft. Would be looking for a forward with top 6 upside of similar age/draft pedigree. Who are some players/teams that would make the most sense for a trade?

Very similar to back before the dynasty…

They had Keith, Seabrook, Byfuglien, Hjalmarsson, Wisniewski, Barker, Hendry, Sopel, big money Campbell…

Hey. I wish you luck. And clearly because of this thread there’s so much excitement for his future otherwise why even make it?

Why do you feel the need to open up your mouth and prove to us you don’t really follow the hawks at all?

 

[Crow]

It’s his first year in the AHL . . .

check the 1st post of the thread lol

We have a TON of NHL defenseman that are 23 and under. We need more forwards. Korchinski would be a guy that can get us a high quality forward. Same with Rinzel who is also 20.....

I would guess they arnt trading Levshunov (2nd overall) or Vlasic (future captain?).

If he was a righty then maybe.

The rebuild started in 2022. Before that, we had a retool where we pissed away assets for Seth Jones in an attempt to make the playoffs again. Failed miserable at that.

Hawks rebuild is strongest on the backend and weakest up front. Hence this thread asking about Korchinski's value. D take time, so hardly surprising there aren't many young guys near the top in the team's scoring.

The seth jones/Fleury acquisitions in a foolish attempt to give Kane one more kick at it set the franchise back years.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

this thread went off the rails...its about Korchinski in a deal like Gauthier for Drysdale etc...what team has a surplus at forward that could use a top 4 defense prospect

little dramatic but yes they should've went teardown earlier but Bowman wanted to save his job

 

[Dead Coyote]

Seattle would be interested in Korchinski if we think he could be a good two way guy. Not familiar enough with him in the AHL to say that. I know he was mostly an offensive guy in the past though. Could definitely send a forward for him off the prospect list.
