Offseason Roster Discussion part 3

[Giovi]

Is it possible to trade CdH for Gostisbehere?
Hawks really need some offense from the blueline.

Shit, I know he sucks defensively but I'd even bring Gus back at this point.

The definition of going from bad to worse.

CdH brings no offense, is slightly below average on D. It's a trade off I'd be willing to make.

Trust me, you don't want anything to do with Ghost Bear. Or even Gus for that matter.

Who do guys have for PP lines?

Cat-Toews-Johnson
Jones-Kane

Johnson plays bumper position moving between the slot and net front. Toews below the goal line. This gives Kane three one timer options from the half wall in Johnson, Jones, or Cat. Similar scheme to the Capitals PP. I’d like to see the tic tac play Kane to Toews to Johnson in the slot utilized. It could open up Toews being able to drive to the net or make a cross crease pass to Cat.

Dach-Strome-Kubalik
Nylander-Kalynuk

Kubalik is the trigger man. Get pucks on net and Strome or Dach pounce on rebounds. Meat and potatoes.

Ian Mitchell on PP2

Kalynuk is able to feed passes to Kubalik quicker since he’s a left shot. If Kubalik is the trigger man Mitchell doesn’t make sense at the point.

They’re gonna put Dach on PP1 instead of Johnson. Hopefully Toews knocks some sense into Kane on how it’s run.

Strome will not be on the team.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Ian Mitchell on PP2

Both Mitchell and Beaudin could use a full season in Rockford.

Let Kalynuk/Stillman/Caleb Jones get a look with the Hawks.

Who is going to fill the right side?

Ottawa is considering a deal for him what I read...hope that is the case

 

[nmgrbhfn]

Zadarov signs for 1yr @ 3.75 mill with Flames. Hawks should have been all over that - a bit much for 3rd pairing but not 2d pairing pay.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Who is going to fill the right side?

de Haan can play both sides, he can fill in on the bottom paring.

McCabe-S. Jones
Kalynuk-Murphy
Stillman/C. Jones-de Haan

 

[Kevin Musto]

de Haan can play both sides, he can fill in on the bottom paring.

You'd rather de Haan gets minutes over Ian?

I don't think Mitchell is NHL ready. As I said earlier, both Mitchell and Beaudin should get a full season in the Rock.

 

[HawksDub89]

Rockford

Without question.

Ian Mitchell wasn’t very good last year. He needs a year in Rockford. I thought that was abundantly clear to everyone.

I still think he can be a 3-4 D, but he needs work.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Ian doesn't need Rockford time. Kings don't play with peasants.

Kings play in LA. Is that where you want him to go?

Strome will not be on the team.

You’re probably right but Johnson is a better shooter than Dach for the PP scheme I proposed.

 

[Styles]

S. Jones-McCabe
Murphy-Kalynuk
de Haan-C. Jones/Stillman

That’s an EA versus D pairings putting everyone on their opposite side. MFs won’t update the roster though so I can play with the new accusations.

Mitchell needs a full year for sure. Beaudin on the other hand most certainly could spend time in Rockford this year, that said I figure he will be a regular at some point this season and I would take him over CDH anyway

Oops, I reversed it.
Meant the opposite.
