I know this is heresy but I think Bedard’s shot makes Dinky’s shot look like a junior player.
Gasp!😱

Frondell/Nestrisil = Bergeron/Lucic

ParticipantCheck out the most recent comment in the Blackhawks Prospects thread for a review of Nestrasil’s, Frondell’s and Spellacy’s play at the WJC.

ParticipantDefinitely Foligno, Dickinson or Lafferty won’t be here next year.
I can see Kantserov and Frondell on the team next year replacing 2 of Foligno, Angie and Lafferty. IMO that 3rd spot will be given to an overpaid veteran forward, maybe on a 2 year deal, to eat up some cap space. Can’t ice a team with 8 to 10 guys on ELC’s for both cap floor requirements and the need for some veterans.
Vanacker, Spellacy, maybe Boisvert at the Rock next year. Behm committed to Arizona State next season. Nestrasil likely still in college next season. Also next year, West plays at Michigan State, probably for 2 years.
I agree but i think Bedard will get around $12aav, Mikhelev 2x between 5 and 6aav, Murphy 2x5aav and if they do decide to bring Foligno back for 1 more year at $4 that gets them to the floor next year

I like Frondell as wing more than center but seem to only catch games when he’s playing wing mostly if not exclusively. If Frondell sticks in NHL at center, do Hawks move Nazar to 3C? Honestly think he’d be an incredible 3C on a contender.

ParticipantSweden/Czech off to hot start. Nestrasil just had a really terrible defensive play to gift Sweden’s first goal.
Frondell is such a joy to watch play. So smart and confident. Smashed 6’6 Mrkta earlier in the 1st. His positioning and vision are next level as are his shot and passing.January 5, 2026 at 7:24 pm #58202Earl Camembert
ParticipantOh God no! (sorry don’t know how to do red font over here)
