And TVR with a goal

Totally random, but man did I think Shaw was a bit older. He is still only 30 years old feels like he was here forever ago... He jumped right from the CHL after his draft and turned pro, maybe that's why he is younger than I was thinking..

He wasn’t drafted until 2 years after his draft eligible year.

Did he turn pro after his draft? Yes. That is what I said. Whether he was passed up or not he still had eligibility left yet turned pro.

Shaw (from where he started) is a huge success story. He was however aging out of juniors. There are very limited “overage” slots (I believe per team) he wasn’t offered one and for a standard junior player his eligibility was over.
If you read his story, he actually secured a job at a local factory. When he left to join the hawks his coworkers have him a wristband (bracelet?) to remember where he came from. He kept it in repair and wore it on ice his entire career.

The humor is Kane called him a 19th round pick. Passed over for 2, 7 round drafts and picked in the 5th round the 3rd year.

Excellent deflection goal by Keith, just not the right team. He's chaneling too much Seabrook

Kudos to Evason for sticking with Fleury and not going to Talbot. Thought for sure since Talbot was their goalie most of the season that he would get his chance, apparently not.

Alex Nylander with the OT series winning goal... for the AHL Penguins

Good for him, don’t miss him in the slightest.

TVR took some punishment from puck tonight blocking shots

Really miss TVR in Chicago

He's one of the few NHL players who could make our defense even slower.

And it would still improve.

I'd be happy to have TVR back on so long as we were guaranteed the coach would keep his ass on the 3rd pair where every other team he's played for knew well enough to put him.

And he was paid commensurate with a 6th dman role, obviously.

As long as a team has better Dmen than Rozsival, Gustafsson, Svedberg and Daley that shouldn't be a problem.

Hagel, Hageling it up in Tampa last night.

Panarin wins it in OT for Rangers!

I miss Artemi

One of the worst trades.

 

[Northernhawk]

Panarin in two seasons with Columbus
-regular season 160gp 55g 114a 169pts
-playoffs 16gp 7g 11a 18pts

Saad in three seasons with Chicago
-regular season 220gp 62g 53a 115pts
-playoffs 9gp 2g 3a 5pts
Zadorov acquired for Saad played one season
-regular season 55gp 1g 7a 8pts
Zadorov as traded for a 3rd(Toronto’s’) in this years draft so the trade tree continues

Hawks had Saad
Hawks had Panarin
And the rest of the pathetic tree

It’s not one or the other, a smart GM would have had both on this team.

Stan the man turned Saad and Panarin into nothing, what a pathetic incompetent human being. How can you turn assets like these into garbage?

Remember when Stan was making all those trades the people here were thrilled

AA for Saad
Panarin for Saad

Stupid stupid man loved on here, just shows the cluelessness in the fan base.

It’s hillarious reading the Panarin/Saad trade thread. The cluelessness is real, everyone should go read that thread and see what people said to judge their hockey IQ.

[Hattrick Kane]

Look I get it, it’s fun to dummy the Hawks right now.

But if we had picked him at the time, this board would have had a meltdown screaming how goalies are voodoo and it’s waste of a pick etc.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I make all the best picks eight years after the fact.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

We wouldn't have picked a goalie with that pick, so it's a moot point.

 

[ClydeLee]

Or maybe Dallas should of drafted Joki and had a better 3rd pair D for their cup run, maybe they would of won with better depth their, their bottom D options were weak.
