This crazy Blue’s centre Robt. Thomas runor keeps showing up in my emails from folks. I just don’t understand how the Hawks brass is decidedly made a turnabout on the centre status of l’il Frankie & big Frondell.
Am I thoroughly confused by what leads to more production, or is the near future production by way of a Robert Thomas the answer?
I guess I see trading into the top 11 with the Blues , a team they NEVER TRADE with, as a nice place to select for the Hawk franchise…where we all thought the we were going to select with the Panther pick.
I am not so sure there is value to let the second rounders go frivilously in a partial late first move up. (if you can land my boy Alexander Command, then go nuts dealing…), but the Balckhawks are fortunate at where all three of the second rounders are positioned. There is plenty of talent that needs a bit more time, that you can selct and let percolate, so there is not a overstocking of guys arriving sooner as opposed to later. Some suggest defenders here in the second, but I see a value in putting the scope on whomever may need tie with a chance of a big payoff.
If the organization is feeling that the rearguard stable needs a restock, maybe that comes with a tarding seconds or simply taking the defenseamn in that first round logjam who needs the time before ehis NHL arrival.
