We have a GM problem

I wonder if KD is going to respond to LR's whoopsie or just limp around through Thanksgiving.

Like could be a good coach in a team with talent. He seems to stunt the O the way he coaches or something.

Which O do you speak of?

It literally consists of one player, make that one 19-year old sophomore that ops check very tightly.

The Hawks entire breakout scheme at the start of the year was for D to rim it around the boards and have a winger bump it back to the middle or chip it out to a middle-drive forward coming through the zone with some speed. Now that teams have adjusted to that, the Hawks don't break the puck out. It's a major reason why they're struggled to produce at 5v5.

The Hawks clearly aren't an incredibly talented team but they shouldn't be scoring at basically the same clip as last year, but that's basically what's happening. That's on the coaching staff.

He’s a clueless clown, sounds smart and all but that’s about it, we need someone who has a brain.

I haven’t liked their pick value strategy and I haven’t loved the progression from our 2nd rounders besides Kantserov maybe.

Vlasic contract is a clear W.
I thought Korchinski playing last year was an L.
I’ve liked what they did in the first round for the most part, besides Moore.

Thought he did well on DeBrincat.
Dach trade was good value and good timing.

He’s still a wait and see for me.

I like the fact that he hasn't given any outlandish contracts with very long term, but his drafting is starting to worry me. I know we won't really have a good idea of how well a draft turns out for 3-5 years later, but I think the 2024 draft is going to end up haunting us for a decade+

I was team Demidov all the way. I mean, it was reported that they tried to move back up to 4 and get both Lev AND Demidov but that didn't happen so now we'll have to wait and see what kind of player Lev turns out to be.

I figured the pick was going to be Demidov the second I saw them send Bedard up to make the pick.
