Value of: Kevin Korchinski

[DatDude44]

Nah they are still busts especially considering draft position and from a value standpoint you don’t pick a player at the top 10 hoping they top out at a 4th liner.

Also @the Beard is a big boy I’m sure he can fight his own arguments and not rely on a heroic knight to save the princess in an online argument

Lol not sure how Drouin, Ryan Strome and Zacha are 4th liners but ok.... LOL. Atleast be accurate if you're gonna make a point with that much conviction, then act like a baby when it's pointed out how wrong you are. If you're gonna have zero sense of humor on a hockey message board, atleast do your research and make sure what your saying is actually accurate, so people like me don't come in here and make you look stupid..... none of the top 10 players from those drafts are busts. Nor are any of them 4th liners..... LOL.

Apparently i'm a knight in shining armor... thank you

What an idiotic decision it was to rush Korchinski to the NHL at 19

Could still turn into a top 4 D but the stagnation in his development is a self-imposed mistake by the Hawks

 

[lakeshirts37]

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

No

 

[lakeshirts37]

The rebuild isn't in year 5.

when do you think it started?

 

[lakeshirts37]

That would be terrible asset management and McQueen should be nowhere near top 10 at this point. Infact he will be on some teams DND lists

And if Hawks move Korchinski + Leafs 1st it would be for established NHL talent

a late first in a bad draft + korchinski isnt that great of a package

 

[WarriorofTime]

In earnest, when they blew up the team at the 2021-22 trade deadline. The halfway approach followed by the "Rocky is dying, one last hurrah for Kane and Toews" 2021 offseason spending spree did a lot more harm than good to the longterm efforts.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Korchinski had a rough start to the year, but definitely put it together at the AHL level prior to his most recent callup. 6 points, +9 in his last 9 games down there. Still only 20 years old. Hawks probably won't trade him because they wouldn't get the value they used a pick on him for, and he's not a sunk cost to just accept something crummy. Defense is logjammed but that's fine, just figure out who is good, which should produce something really good down the line if they manage the assets OK, and hopefully keep drafting forwards to get another guy with top line capability.

Would Quinton musty for korchinski interest hawks fans?

ABSOLUTELY

I take that all day if I'm Chicago

Thanks for your feedback Mr. Davidson!

 

[Crow]

hawks fans were on a bender two of those draft years

I was on a bender the whole time.

Yeah but would reasonable people without a huge man crush do it?

Another reason why 19 year olds need to be able to play in the AHL.

Probably fair value, but Korchinski doesn't give us anything we don't already have in Dickinson or Mukhamadullin. If he were a righty, then it would be an easy yes.

If the Sharks draft Martone, then it could be something to revisit.

they learned from that decision by sending him and levshunov right to rockford for the majority of this season, but yes it was a very dumb decision on their part

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Korchniski didn't seem to be much of anything tonight, as a Caps fan. Rinzel and Levshunov looked like good guys to have, though.

 

[nbwingsfan]

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

He’s 20 years old my guy, what exactly makes you come to that conclusion already

 

[Alienblood]

Schaefer and Misa are almost on par with each other at the top of the draft, with Hagens and Martone right there too. Sharks will almost certainly take Schaefer if they have the option since their prospect pool is stacked with offensive forwards already. If Chicago picks ahead of them they should definitely take Misa IMO. As good as Schaefer is, Levshunov already looks legitimate and Korchinski isn't returning a prospect like Misa.

I know rule of thumb is draft BPA, but when they are that close take what your team needs most. Only scenario where Chicago might take Schaefer is if a 3rd team wins #1 and takes Misa and then Chicago wins #2.

no it's clearly Schaefer by all accounts
