I agree Wiz Burakovsky stinks, but that’s okay we got kids coming as i posted on another thread, Bedard is becoming a stud, we just need 2 more forwards to become studs to make the playoffs and 3 to be a Stanley Cup contending team since we have all these young talented dmen developing already.
We are so close to being a fringe team, and a few more away from being a real nightmare. Step right up Frondell, Kansternov and Boisvert you’re next up.
I am astounded by many a Blackhawk reality. How poorly and unlucky they were to lose to the Canucks. How they were able to obtain a taste 1st rounder in 2027 for Dach and Jason Dickenson was a pretty nifty get. And the get that 2028 second rounder before the Oilers shopped for a defenseman elsewhere was also very fortunate. Steve called me to ask how old would I be before that prospect selected with it is ready to take a parent club role, and I said 82.
First game back and Wyatt Kaiser proves he is our best all-around defender whose stick and feet seem to get involved in so many facets.
Nice to have KK practice with the parent club, but right now he needs to bulk up and add more than his sharp passing and mobility. You gotta root for him because he is in a tight competition, although I thought Ethan Del mastro still struggles in his short area bursts.
Between the 2-3rd intermission, I “heard” Kyle say he he is trying to shake loose high end already drafted help, but no luck.
We all know no matter if THREE newcomers push for roles in the bigs, there scoring seems lacking a dominant high end attacker who checks ALL te boxes, unlike the complementary additions they have been able to fill the team with, at the cost of dollars, not many draft picks at all. Maybe now they can focus on feasible established gamble, because the Bedard show is going to have more nights when three crossbars derail his offense.I hate to think I have detached myself from myself, becoming a complaining long term fan (in the same way there were so many Connor Murphy detractors, lumping their disappointment onto him),but I simply do not like Burakovsky. Yeah, I see his puck handles and the shot, but he leaves me wishing he wasn’t launched for lack of production & I believe, effort. I know I never could attain his levels, but he is making me mad. It is. Not like Ollie Moore is any better, or the other vet scorers who all show more effort. Is it me?
I have updated the 2026 mock after the trade deadline:
