With the Burakovsky injury, the 11/7 backfired tonight, like you said Rico the Hawks stopped moving their feet in the third. With Foligno and Burakovsky unavailable tommorrow, and Dickinson I assume iffy, my guess the Hawks call up Slaggert to take to Buffalo.
It is the situation room that makes the call. Trend all year for all teams is if it is not obvious, they are not overturning the call.
If and a big if, they keep performing the way they are so do they trade Murphy? I can see Dickinson definitely being traded.
Murphy has been a loyal warrior for years.
He has a 10 team no-trade list according to capwages.
My guess is they let him have a say in it, unless someone not on his NT list offers way too much. (unlikely imho)Dickinson, it all depends on his health.
Overall I wonder how they approach the trade deadline if (just for example) the Hawks are out of the playoffs
but have an outside chance to get in with a great end of year run.
Would they keep the veterans in order to give the team more meaningful games for the youngsters?Like you said, a big “if” but also a lot of variables too.
Mikhayev is an interesting case. UFA at the end of the year, at 32 y.o. He will be looking for his last big payday. Do you sign him (he probably will want a minimum of 3 years), trade him for an asset at the TDL, or wait until the end of the year and evaluate then?
Frenchy, what game log? Still do not see a game log logging in on my IPad this AM. Not the first time. Can’t comment on the game when you don’t know where to comment. This general blog is way behind most day’s also.
Hawks goalies are keeping the game’s within reach until the offense start’s producing.
Best move that happened over the off season was when the Denver coach declined the offer, and KD turned to Blashill. Last thing this team needed was another coach learning how to be an NHL coach.
Best period I have seen from the Hawks in a long time.
The 1st v LA was a nice period as well, LA……. When the structure beaks down there is no safety net for poor puck management. Same as periods 2-3 vs LA and in this 2nd v OTT. No structure and the mistakes become glaring.
2nd and third against LA the Hawks played right into the Kings 1-3-1 scheme trying to carry it in rather than dump and chase. Played right into the Kings hands.
