Hey Mark1958. Totally agree……. Other than Reichel and sometimes Bedard or Nazar, Way way too many times we get red line, dump puck, goalie stops puck to their d- men and we give up possession free. Reichel, Nazar get the puck in O-zone off the rush but then more times than not elect not to shoot when they have the opportunity, but dish puck to wingers where we lose can lose possession again. Wish we had more players that skate the puck in off the rush, get off a quality shot and crash net for rebound. Or carry puck in deep, then go low to high to the point, then get a shot off, then crash net. Love Dickensons overall game but his propensity to fight hard in d-zone to get puck out, get to red line, then dump puck and giveaway possession is killing us. He’s not the only one. Bert, Hall, Teuvo do same thing. Safe play to make but it’s a huge reason Hawks are one of worst teams in shot attempts, shots on goal, and goals scored in league. We do OK on PP, why?….cause we can get puck into the O-Zone with possession better vs 5v5
He has been solid, and for a guy who was selected in the 7th round a few years ago, his development has been incredible. However, I'm still taking Kaiser if someone asked me who I'd bet will be a puzzle piece down the road, and it frustrates me that Kaiser has been on the outskirts of the lineup
Maroon, Martinez, Smith are playing just to get picked up at trade deadline. Donato wants to be here and is playing like he wants a new contract. Kurachev and AA are just not good enough. Hall may be resigned next year at 2 yr for 2.5 or 3 mil max. GMKD was looking for FA that would be cheap and short term for 2024/25. Bert/Teuvo being exceptions. Bert is producing/ Teuvo gets alot of criticism but he is 2nd on this bad team in points behind Bedard.
I would say it wasn't risky because clearly they were going to take the next few years under Richardson to rebuild. Downside of him being a bad coach isn't nearly the same as the downside of their next hire being a bad coach. Get what you're saying though!

Big Lou has been really solid since being up. I wouldn't sleep on him. He can be a decent third line defenseman for a long time

Look back at my comments many, many months 😂 ago on the Denver Pioneers coach.
Can you talk about the Jeremy Roenick and Connor Bedard situation?
Coming tomorrow!
What's Demonic James upside?
Id hedge bets on what most succesful college guys end up doing: ahl
I'll save it for Monday!
Bring in ken holland.
They signed some clueless 🙈 free agents
Free agent thieves. Throw in the 3 goofs kyle extended last year
They were viewed as ok signings at the time. What matters is that bertuzzi and terivanan look good everyone besides is on short term deals

Risky? Risky was hiring Luke Richardson.
David Carle has won 2 Nat'l Championships and 2 World Jr's
I would say it wasn't risky because clearly they were going to take the next few years under Richardson to rebuild. Downside of him being a bad coach isn't nearly the same as the downside of their next hire being a bad coach. Get what you're saying though!
Free agents just padding bank account.
