Columbus gaped us hard with that trade, then Stan shoved it in deep by signing him for the next 20 years and cementing his legacy. Clueless little daddy’s shadow boy.

Colliton really f***ed us on that one. The terrible season was the issue. Boqvist, 12th overall (Sillinger) and a middling 1st for Jones and Nolan Allen wouldnt have been that bad. The bad season giving the Jiricek pick instead of the below guys was a big blow.

I think that submission by the franchise to be the worst example of professional sports played a bigger part in the bad season than Colliton. King was not a good choice to step in, and as much as I don't trust KD, he was stuck with an interim type of tag on him, which probably throttled some of his willingness to take a few more chances. Ownership set up the failure, and that's without knowing how much McD meddled.

Speaking of those guys behind the bench,

Colliton is going to the postseason in Abbotsford, comfortably 3rd in his division with 10 games left.
Brookbank asst with AHL Penguins on outside edge of playoffs
Mitell somewhere in Sweden plugging along
Crawford is in the semis in the Swiss league Head Coach for Zurich.

No, Bowman f***ed us, not JC. Should have not traded for Jones, should have not signed MAF. They would have been in the top 3 picking one of Slaf, Cooley, or Nemec.

Sure. but if they made the playoffs that year like a lot projected and the trade was Boqvist, Sillinger, and Gaucher for Seth Jones and Nolan allen. I dont think you complain.

Bowman f***ed up the contract. No debate about that.

No, I still definitely complain. We were in no position to trade for Seth Jones, holding onto the picks and young players was the clear path. I would rather have Boqvist, Sillinger and Gaucher than Seth Jones for 7 more years at 9.5mil right now and in 5 years.

yes, but if we made the playoffs that year you wouldnt be complaining and we would be stuck in the middle still.

We would still be trying to win with Debrincat Hagel Strome Kane McCabe Lafferty Dach Kubalik Boqvist Sillinger and Gaucher. Which wouldnt work.

lol yes, I would be complaining. We would be no where near being a championship team, so what's the point in just making the playoffs? And it's all hypothetical anyway, when in reality, most of us knew getting Jones (and Fleury) wouldn't do much for the team, and they would still be a bottom 10 team.

Good for them. It wasn't, and was never going to be.

 

[ClydeLee]

I thought bubble team but I didn't expect JC to stick to failure with a fresh camp

 

[CallMeShaft]

A pretty funny minute long clip of Hartman talking about getting under Jordan Binnington's skin.

 

[Kevin Musto]

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He has 55.

 

[MileHighHawksFan]

I liked Hagel a lot. Thirty goals is bananas.

Yeah was one thing seeing him do it on this team, really happy to see him keep up his good play with Tampa, despite it being Tampa.

 

[Blackhawks]

Trading Hagel was moronic, no matter what we got for him, we coulda just kept those 2 1sts we lost to Columbus. Hagel is the kinda player you build around…
