KFC was just live on Seravalli’s show.
They asked him about Bedard, Frondell, then Rinzel/Arty, then Blashill.
He didn’t say anything of substance, just supported his people with positive comments.Lev still needs to master the art of checking. Hire Bickell as a coach.
Not a D-Man either but I’m going with Dave Bolland.
Don’t look now but Lev is on the rookie scoring leaders list with Demidov. The Lev pick is looking better every day. Demidov is a one trick pony. Lev is a horse you’re going to ride.
With Hawks needing to get to the salary floor next season and having a $30 million gap to do so, there’s been rumors of bringing in a big vet with a large cap hit like trading for Stamkos to help bridge said gap. Stamkos has a $8 mil cap hit for two more seasons. Problem is his production has fallen off since joining the Preds however there is another horse in the race the Hawks may be inclined to bringing in on a short two year deal without trading assets: Artemi Panarin.
Breadman is still a ppg player and could play top line with Bedard and Burakovsky or 2nd line with lil Frankie and Turbo while Bert bumps back up to 98’s line. Panarin adds a scoring threat this roster really needs for both 5v5 and PP.
I don’t see any forwards in Rockford this year that’ll make the jump next season. Not even Lardis. Maybe Frondell but he’s currently playing 3rd line in Sweden so yikes. Vanacker, Spellacy, Kantserov, and possibly Pridham will be added to Hogs roster but will need at least a full season in Rockford before they’re potentially viable options. Seems to be a 2 year gap before a wave of legit prospects are ready to push for NHL spots so a 2 year deal for someone like Panarin would make a lot of sense plus re-signing Mik or Dickinson.
I recall in years past I’ve heard many say who wants to play for the Blackhawks?
I imagine that there may be some vets out there that might believe the Blackhawks might be in a great position with young players who are still on their rookie contracts to compete for not only the playoffs but the Stanley Cup next season.
I do think KD is in a fantastic position to get what he may feel he needs, he’s actually putting himself in the driver’s seat because of all the assets he has, draft capital and no salary cap restrictions.

When all said and done they might have one top 5 anyways, besides like me odds if i get 2 in the 1st round especially top 10.
By point per game %, Tankathon has the Hawks out of the playoff picture. CHI with the 11th pick and Florida with the 12th.
Package them and move up to top 5?

Just for the heck of it I did a draft simulation and the Panthers moved up 10 spots to 2 and the Hawks dropped to 12.
I think there are scenarios where we continue to get better than we’ve been this year: Lev has a monster second half; Lardis comes up and adds a spark; Moore and Nazar heat up; KD adds a body or two… Then again, we get a bunch of injuries and it all comes crashing down. At least for the first time in many years the arrow is pointing up.
Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans out there.
