Mikheyev with a monster 200′ game tonight. For all the roses people seem to throw at Dickinson’s feet, I think Mikheyev is the better player.
With all the young pups coming up including possibly Frondell next season as well, does Dickinson have a chance at coming back on a short deal since he’s a Blashill favorite thus far? I think the question is if Greene is ready to supplant Dickison at 3C at the end of the season. Mik def needs to be re-signed but think Foligno, Lafferty, and Reichel are elsewhere next season.
We kinda get a peek into how KD will handle forwards with expiring contracts by the way he’s handled the defense. With Murphy back this yr and being the only Dman with any long term service he went out and got Gryz as support/insurance for the rest of the crazy young D core who’s time generally speaking is now. .. I think as the young forward’s time is now starts pushing, like the young Dmen have, KD will keep his same measured approach with them too. ….. He’ll insulate and place the kids in positions to succeed as best he can and keeping valued vet forwards is a part of that. Like the defense.
Which vets he keeps/acquires is a whole other conversation and how the Greene’s, Slaggert’s, Moore’s, Nazar’s play this yr can/will affect who’s kept too. ….. Roster competition, baby. Sign me up.
Hey Chunk, don’t take this as the Hawks are gonna make the playoffs, but are we sure this team can’t be playing meaningful games at the TDL? And if so, will KD mess with what would be a very successful season to that point?

I don’t think Dickinson stays on the team, but I’m just not a huge fan of him. They have 5 forward contracts coming up that they can just walk away from (I’m assuming they want to keep Dach). Mikheyev, Foligno, Dickinson, Reichel, Lafferty. I see at least two of them gone by the TDL, and the only guy I see them wanting to keep would be Mikheyev.

It not even close and even Mik was off last night. He didn’t seem to have his usual jump but his effort still made him effective.

It’s kind of splitting hairs, they’ve both been very good overall. An apples and oranges comparison when one is playing W and the other C. Mikhevev is the better athlete, faster and just proving to be more durable. Dickinson playing the more difficult role, winning faceoffs, more physical, drives play a bit more.
I think their differences are what makes them effect together. Jeff Blashill has the option of putting Donato with those 2 and on a nightly basis and they have a line that can match up pretty well against the top lines of the opposing teams. Definitely more difficult to play against than the top 2 lines. IMO one of the big reasons why the Hawks are so much weaker on the road than at home.

Don’t these kids know they are not supposed to be winning these games, hahaha
3rd in the West, hahaha
One of the most impressive sequences i saw in this game was when the 2nd period started and the Ducks had us pinned in our own end for over 2 minutes and they didn’t commit a penalty and just kept getting in position and did a great job of letting Knight defend half the ozone throughout the whole sequence, they did a great job of that all game.
