Haru i think the issue is they want the brinks truck to trade for any young top 6 forward, and i don’t blame KD for not making a move like that, i guess Jarmo was trying to flip our 4th OA for a young forward and he found out it wasn’t enough.
I just hope Byram takes off and becomes a 60ish point dman who can play in all situations. If he does this then he was worth the trade and contract.
All I know is every guy on the roster who is a Kyle high draft, the throw ins still around from past trades, and any onebody on the farm or in camp on play yourself unto the roster players, they better come prepared to play better than last year.
Re: Commesso
He certainly is a different style gaolie than our starter of back-up.
I think the young defenders are going to be asked to adjust to radically different style, as he is so economic and compact in his stance that he looks even smaller tahn 6’2″. And he is REALLY a excellent homeplate style goalie, and I am not sure if he has the birdseye to track the numereous high speed shots he is going to have to locate and position for, but we’ll see.
I REALLY want Solder to continue improving. Ther is a lot to like in his size and demeanor.
It seems to me that the last post of my own I see is the one on May 3 2026, where I linked MY OWN property, my mock draft.
So, you all see this the one from this morning and the last days, right?
It seems weird that if I was somehow banned, that the ban was on ME seeing my own posts but can see this post and the ones I have been unable to see? ?
I think the theme is “Bedard needs a PROVEN winger…” Unfortunately as KD has stated great players are hard to come by, especially young ones. My thoughts for that were Knies, Robertson, Pettersson and maybe Kent Johnson, but maybe Davidson doesn’t share my liking for the latter two. So if that’s the case, I can see the Hawks once again, patiently waiting to see what they have in Frondell, Kantserov and Lardis and go from there, which is alright by me, cause I’m going to watch them anyways no matter what.
I always laugh when analysts minimize a team trading away someone whos talented and say they didn’t really need them.
Hockey is the ultimate team sport and you go to the playoffs and win a Stanley Cup by having the accumulation of the most talent on your roster.
I still remember the days of fans going on and on of not having a 2nd line center and now that’s turning into we need a scoring winger on Bedard line.
The other thing to is when i look at all the other clubs in our division or conference how many teams got better?
This is why i truly believe analysts are not the sharpest tools in the shed. How can they possibly say SJ has a good off season? Nurse, Marchment and Trouba, the best thing that happened was they won the lotto to draft Stenberg, but then they traded Eklund away? Dumb move. So they have one less top 6 forward until Stenberg makes his debut and signed one mediocre top 4 dman, Trouba who’s a glacier and Marchment who’s got grit and not much else.
Ducks trade away a top 6 forward and a playmaking defender for what? I love that Verbeek played hardball with his center and Philly offered that contract. Just like Vancouver when they went to the playoffs, they are going to have trouble scoring that many goals again this season, will their defense improve probably not.
Not one team got stronger in our division or conference other than us and maybe the Preds but damn that team is old. Why because we have young talented inexperienced kids who are going to get better while most teams had to get rid of talent to stay under the cap.
Dallas looked woefully slow in the playoffs
Kings are done,
Really curious to see if Celebrini can continue his ability to score and now they are minus another top 6 forward
It just goes on and on.
So many look at what have the Blackhawks done? They had 11 first round picks in 4 years and they improved their team with a young blossoming defenseman. Was there a better addition to a team in the western conference? I really don’t think so
Mr. Dots I think the difference in KD’s strategy versus say McCrimmon in Vegas or Zito in Florida is that Davidson is seeking long term viability as a Stanley Cup contender vs “we’ll contend now future be damned” approach. I think Davidson was around during the Hawks glory years and saw that the accumulation of talent from the draft catapulted the team towards those cups, only because of the bad timing of the stagnant cap was the Hawks undoing.
KD seems to be very patient and calculating and I’m willing to wait out the process. He seems to be seeking very high-end talent to pair with Bedard and won’t sway to take a lesser talented player, which is good. Don’t buy a high output Camaro when you are saving up for a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Although I’ve had my ’69 Camaro for over 30 years and I couldn’t think of owning either of those cars. I couldn’t work on them and maintenance must be outrageous. 😉
Wiz, I think we’re used to the old Hockeybuzz format that the posts just get layered in a natural progression. Here I think you have to go back to page 1 each time to see your latest post.
I do agree Wiz we need to see it on the ice, at the NHL level.
Not saying you specifically, that’s why most can’t see an up and coming team. It has become harder for KD since all these teams can keep their FAs because of the salary cap exploding.
I to question the Byram move but at the same time it may be an overpayment but it’ll be nice to get a top 4dman who can QB the power play.
I think the veteran top 6 forward is out there but unfortunately the price isn’t right yet.
We’ll see what talent minus NHL game experience will get us this year, 10 or more starters this season will have less than 100 games experience.
All this enthuiasm for our Blackhawks is moral boosting.
Wouldn’t I pay for the chance to see a maturing Arty, Bid Red, Vlasic, and Kaiser & KK playing with a split-second more progress in their understanding and execution.
so aling with the defensemen playing in suited roles, i need to see the lineup upfront to all play at higher levels. As much as a loved spouting off the newcomwe rookies attributes, but we need to see a year with Ollie Moore whether he gets to play with winger Lardis when his production stalls with top six big boys.
I need Nazar to cement some role. Bedard will play around Frondell in spots while new hope raises that Kansterov is te fit with him, as Roman wants the puck in short possession, guiding the quickly puck to other linemate or back to Bedsy.
I really want Slaggert to be a factor too.
Just rember, fanboys, that Bo Bryram wasn’t even in the Hockey News top 100.
or that Alex Vlasic in his final year as a member of the USHL USANDt-U18, he was the #5 tasked at PK duty and playing against lesser competition.
I want them to suceed, and I need to see it from the existing competing cast at forward.
(And HOE COME I cannot come back and see my posts?
