Hawks roster for Kurvers showcase.
Thanks for this.
I’m just hoping for ONE “holy crap” surprise jump in skill level at this event.
Any more than that would be gravy.I think Nick Lardis is going to stand out, maybe along with Vanacker and Spellacy.
I don’t know if it happened to anyone else, but i couldn’t register here, and just figured out a week later that the email to create a password was going to my Spam folder. All good now, just have to figure out how to do my profile
Edit: Actually figured it out.
I had the exact same issue with it going to my Gmail Spam folder. I hope the admin of the site realizes this might be making the process more difficult for people. I know there can be some modifications to email settings to help prevent it being marked as SPAM.
Hi Everyone, great to see the old squad from HB assembling here. Reading through the posts on HB and now here is my routine start of the day with a coffee. Look forward to the discussions, banter, and insights!!!
Same. I can’t wait for the season to start and the conversations to really get going. 🙂
Wondering if Kyle enters the chat for Carey Price’s contract. Brossoit for Price + 2026 conditional pick perhaps? Habs are currently $4.8 million over the cap. Swapping Price for Brossoit would get the Habs $3 mil under the cap so they’d still have room to play with down the line. Also nets them a solid goalie if he returns to playing in 25-26. For Hawks, they get something in return for Brossoit and let their problem become the Habs’ problem while absorbing Price’s contract.
I think it’s a definite possibility and a creative take. I’m super curious what is going on with Brossoit and if he will play again.
This has to me really just been a factor of just how soon in the rebuild the Hawks got Bedard. He came in very very early in the rebuild and KD has stuck to his guns about keeping the rebuild on course. Eye on the prize. Connor Bedard is a great young player with potential to be generational but he is just one player and one player doesn’t make a rebuild or a team. The help is coming up through the system, but I think Bedard understands the situation of the team and where they are at. I think he sees the guys like Nazar, Rinzel, Frondell, etc.. coming. It’s just a matter of time for the team to really start to come together and then we’ll see the Hawks get more aggressive to fill holes. I’m in the camp that it doesn’t hurt Bedard to have to carry the load a bit in his young seasons. He is used to that from Jr. It won’t slow him down or damage his long term potential. He will still be great when he is ready but he has had to do a lot of growing and maturing too. If, for example, the Hawks were a playoff team the last couple years, Bedard would have been manhandled come postseason playoff hockey. He is getting better all the time and we’ll see him become a more complete player ready to really be a superstar for this team.
