Agreed, but I wouldn't be shocked or pleased if it went the other way.

At what point in the last two years has logic been applied to Scott's position with the Hawks?

no im not talking in circles
this team is not as talented as the cup team and needs a few pieces
i personally believe they could win the cup with one top four defenseman and two physical forwards even with our average at best goaltending

i think a combo of any 3, gausted, roy, downie,erskine, sarich, kubina, moen, regher,puts them right there. they have enough scoring, 1 or 2 of those D's puts a couple of current D's on the bench. adding gausted or downie & roy would be absolutely huge! the goalies will play better with more support in front of them.

i said before , 1 sweep, roy,gausted regher! puts the hawks right there!
maybe even little nicky will quit being such a p u s s y out there if they add a big mean D.i like erskine also!

That would be disheartening if that were the case. The Nashville game and this game the Def was very serviceable if not borderline good. I roll Keith and Olson, Seabs and Hammer, Leddy/Lepisto and Montador/OD

I like the idea of Gausted. I don't think Roy or Regher's contracts would work here. Both have a year left at $4 million per. At least not both of them, maybe they can make one work.

Anyways, Roy is a smaller guy. I wouldn't think he's your type of player?

What do you guys think of Olsen's play tonight? He moved his feet, he hit, he poked... seemed quite serviceable to me...

I like him more each game , except that one turnover where he tripped over himself by th goal line when he was receiving a pass. No biggie though. SO far , he's been ok. I can see the upside.

gausted,erskine downie! we got enough skill!! leddy sits till he grows some balls! better yet i trade leddy if he can land me a top flight 2nd line center, we have duncan fricken 8 mill a year keith as our designated stick waver on D already!would love to see downie! a right handed carbomb!erskine is a major league fighter, would probably give big john a run for his doe in that dept.paul gausted ,who would be the 1st 1 i'd aquire could play your 3rd line center with bolly moving up! i'd still keep scott around ......somewhere, even if it is for 35 games a year! i bet he plays sunday and ryan reeves and a few others don't do dd i c k to the hawks kids! sorry to hurt you boys but that is 1 guy i keep .

Agreed. I posted this on the page before.

If Q has anything to do with it, Leddy plays, O'D and Scott split time, Lepisto grabs his sleeping bag and heads to the press box and Olsen comes back on a bus to Rockford.

If Q has any say in it, you know that's what will happen.

Unless a trade is made, I wouldn't be shocked that once Hjalmarsson and Montador are healthy, the defensive parings will go back to what they were.

It's just one win tonight. While I hope things improve, I'm not going to jump for joy until they actually do improve. With that, I'm still fed up with Q and Kitchen, and I still believe they both should go.
