I don’t think it’ll be an issue, he sounds like he’s a team player saying he’s doing this for his teammates to win a state title.
That to me is a staple of hockey players, team first.
Nice breakdown, i would also like to add, i felt that Sorensen opened things up when he became the head coach that’s why the rise of GA. Personally i felt Jones was only going through the motions with this team.
The encouraging thing for me last year was we had actual puck possession in the offensive zone for long stretches but not able to score goals by wearing teams out.
I think that’ll come next, i just think of all the misses by Nazar on his breakaway attempts and laugh when he said that was definitely something he’s going to be working on this summer. If he scored on half of them he’d of had 6 or 7 more goals last season.
I’m definitely a fan of more speed, so my guess is Burak will fit right in, when you look at all be it young team i believe we’ll be even harder to play against because of the increased team speed.
I do think they need to have 2 different prospect rankings
NHL ready prospect rankings
Nazar and RinzelTop talent rankings, when they begin to reach their prime at about 24 years old
Arty, Frondell, Moore, West, Lardis, Kansternov, Korchinski and so on.
Just think in the past 4 years the Blackhawks have drafted 15 kids in the top 40!!!!
Hard for any team to compete with that and i think when it’s all said and done Frondell will be the prize of that draft.
I don’t know what the record of the Blackhawks will be but I’m excited about this season, it sucked when we traded Cat, Hagel, Kane, and had to watch a bunch of scrubs.
Bedard was exciting to watch and to see Vlasic grow into a solid defenseman.
But we are finally in a spot where i can enjoy watching both the Blackhawks and the ice hogs.
I believe one of the things i mentioned that wasn’t posted was what i really like about the rebuild is the depth, if one of Korchinski, Arty or Rinzel don’t work out that’s fine but what does a team like SJ do if Dickinson doesn’t become the guy many think he will? They have to hope a 26 year old Dobson is available for tradeb and have to pay him.
Habs had to give up 2 first round picks which will affect future depth for them.
I’m hoping to one day see a PP of Bedard, Nazar, Lardis, Frondell, and Arty or Rinzel. They all can shoot and are good at handling the puck.
