So that huge 2026 UFA forward class is now down to Kempe, Panarin and Necas. Unless you want to include Nick Schmautz as a difference maker.
That’s why drafting is king, especially as the cap rises, teams will be signing their guys.
Unless you are Vegas.

I just updated my 2026 UFA dream list today, have a look.

Well, we played one good period (the 2nd) in that first game. The first period was rough and made worse by the weak penalty calls on Levshunov. The team still looked a bit disorganized in their own end, forwards late to get to coverage. We got burned for a goal on Grzelcyk being out of position, which is pretty much the book on him (or so I’ve been told).
While there were a couple bright spots, that was a sound beating the Knight kept close.
That’s going to happen for a while with a team this young.

In the first period, which had a bunch of flubs, Knight saved their butts. They played better in the second but let down a little in the third. I see progress and that’s all that matters at this point. Bedard was just a couple of inches away from scoring the first goal. Nazar. Can you say anything more about this kid? I even noticed Bedard playing defense.
Thanks Chunk, i think another key point is from what i hear is Blashill had a convo with Reichel and informed him of how he needs to play if he wants to get into the lineup. Is Reichel willing to accept that his form of floating around hockey is not going to help any team win?
I don’t think it really matters at all. If he doesn’t figure his crap out, he’s going to be a UFA and can try and get a gig somewhere else. The Hawks have so many guys that are about to push for an NHL spot. It’s all on him to make them play him. I don’t think he played that poorly in the preseason, but he didn’t stand out.
I think one of the most important things that Blashill has to maintain is that playing time and situations are a privilege. If someone is playing more responsible, they should get the time.
