ParticipantMikheyev 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.

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.

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.

ParticipantHey 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?

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.
