The Tom Kurvers showcase will be held in Minnesota on Sept 13-14. Hawks prospects will play two games against their Wild and Blues counterparts. No roster set yet. Last year the games were streamed so I expect the same this year. Camp opens for the whole team the following week.
As noted, Vlasic admitted he hit the wall late in the season. It’s likely that Rinzel, Levshunov and the other young D will experience the same mental and physical wear downs as the season progresses. I thought KFC would have brought in a veteran D to alleviate the load on the kids, but it looks like he wants them to sink or swim. The same could be said for forwards Nazar, Moore and Green. Playing 70 to 80 games in the NHL or AHL is different than playing 30 in college.
With that said, I agree with you Frenchy. There may be some improvement in the standings points wise, but this year will have its ups and downs. Getting the young guys experience and used to the grind will be the main focus.
P.S. For general discussion on the Hawks all season, visit this thread here on HockeyHotStove. Stop by to add your thoughts.
Hey Rico, Dots, Dan Maloney, Tony-O and others,
I created a forum with the topic “Blackhawks 2025-2026 General Comments” that could be used for discussion throughout the season. Here’s the link:
Coach Frenchy is doing a wonderful job providing us with almost daily Hawks content that provides us an opportunity to discuss his subject matter. Needless to say, after no fresh Blackhawks content for almost a year at the other site, Frenchy’s writings are a godsend.
But, I thought a more general forum would be good to discuss other things that we want to talk about. I’m envisioning links to articles containing Hawks news, prospect news, lineup construction, game day chat, trades, signings, rumors and the like.
P.S. Hope you don’t mind Frenchy.
Interesting that everyone has Lardis so far down the list. AKA rpeters01.
Glad to see you made it over.
Reads like your responding to my post Frenchy. Unfortunately, my original post is not shown anymore within the comments. Kind of disappointing that I take the time to write my thoughts and then they disappear in the ether somewhere. Maybe it is just a quirk in the website.
Thanks for the update Bill.
I don’t mean to be a nitpicker, but there is a typo on the NHL DRAFT page. You show a date of June 31, but as you know the draft is June 27-28. I also like the league schedule information added to that page.
Also, are they any plans to show any future trades and free agent signings somewhere on the site? Maybe add a TRANSACTIONS link on the top banner. Keeping that updated over the next few weeks will be a full time job for someone, LOL.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes Bill and others, for the new site. It looks promising. I have a couple of questions.
1. Do you anticipate having a Chicago writer soon? I am looking forward to some Blackhawks content.
2.In the “Who We Are” section of the home page, it’s mentioned that eventually you’ll have salary cap data. Is it too much to expect a Capfriendly like format, or will you have something more basic?
Thanks for the feedback.
