If so, he's a legitimate hockey guy and works in the game and I'll leave it at that.
Recalled/Assigned: Pirri back down to Rockford... potentially getting shopped?

... What? Why? If the team truly believes that he's not in their future, better to get something rather than nothing.
And hopefully that something is a 2nd+.

Maybe, but if the earlier talk was that several teams were interested, you never know.

talented guys that haven't established themselves don't usually return much. thinking a third or another prospect that needs a fresh start.
And yet he was somehow magically able to make all the right decisions (and fixes to his bad decisions) in the playoff run last year, all within the span of 7-game series'.
Great coach. Not going anywhere any time soon and we should all be thankful for that. Take a look around the league at all the teams suffering under much worse coaches.

Exactly. I'd rather just see if he can help us out this season than give up on him and get a 3rd/4th or something like that

watch the game, everything else is noise
Exactly... and play him with Sharp and Hossa, where he doesn't need to constantly look out for his wingers who cheat on the offensive side of the puck. Sharp does it sometimes but generally he is very good at picking his spots. This is not rocket science but Q doesn't seem to get it.

You have no objectivity on the subject, so don't bother.
Anyone can see that that line is a disaster waiting to happen..... so why can't (the great coach) Q? The only way I play 23 and 88 on the same line is if Toews centers the two, and even then it would not be advisable (as Q has better options).
Of course Pirri gets player of the game tonight for his 2G and 1A against Farjestad tonight in the 7-2
win by the AHL All Stars over the Swedish Elite League team....Obviously getting away from the Q system and Let's version of it tight in Rockgord agrees with him.. Playing with Mike Hoffman and Joey White as his wingers in a different style probably fits him better...2 systems..'s does not encourage attacks.up the middle of the ice by our centres to make plays off of. .unless a one rushed receives stretch pass..but he never positions forwards to attack all 3 off a centre rush...but maybe Pirri is better in that type of attack? Whatever...he has not taken the reins in the Q style system when tried on the big club..Maybe he thrives elsewhere in a different system..Has offensive talent but for whatever reason cannot make it in the show under the Q system.

You can't play guys, especially in your top-6, that you have to shelter. It's as simple as that. You can't limit what you can do with your lineup because you're worried that if Pirri (or anyone) plays with player 'x', his shortcomings/flaws will become more prevalent.

RIP Fugu
I think more likely outcome is the Hawks send Pirri to a team that he steps into lineup right now ,, While getting back a NCAA prospect who has several years of NCAA eligibility left and who can develop for a few years away from Rockford so as not to add to glut
+ Bowman likes NCAA route for guys it seems

And neither had Kruger's and yet he was given chance after chance after chance. Pirri didn't look good in his most recent call up. He was solid defensively, weak in the corners and although he went to the dirty areas to try and create he's just not physically capable of playing that role. Sound familiar?

I don't get this talk of Saad taking his chance and running with it. It was evident extremely early on that Saad was taken way later then he should have been and the Hawks got extremely good value on a guy with questions that ended up being unfounded.
He's a special player, not the norm.

********. Q made several horrible decisions made on the basis of nothing, while his fixes where what would have been if he hadn't ****ed it up in the first place.
You're giving him credit for THAT? You should be on his coaching staff.

Your definition of a "fair chance" must be something different than what I'd consider a fair chance. Q either didn't give him enough time (2-3 game stints since his first demotion), or he rationalized he was good enough (given our options) when in fact he'd shown that he was.
Pirri's not the best player in the world, but he was easily our best #2C option yet our coach somehow thought otherwise. Every public rationalization given for his decisions were proven to be false.

And we HAVE. Repeatedly. But they have to be Q's guys. Pirri isn't/wasn't one of Q's guys (for whatever reason).

Out of curiosity would you guys be interested in Jets RHD Zach Redmond? Jack of all trades type that is definitely NHL ready but pushed down due to our amazing RHD depth. 25 years old, 1 year remaining @ 715k/2way, but is a UFA due to not enough NHL GP. His value is you can stash him in the minors for a cup run.
