I've really appreciated your insight on this draft. I'm far from an expert but had some ideas. My assessment is still TBD. Goalie prospect is a must either through the draft or trade.

If Dansk falls in round two the Hawks are golden

JJ,

What is going on? Are you hearing anything? Did not expect the Hawks to go crazy tonight but did think they would do something.

instead of character assassinations how about proving how my statement was incorrect about the stahl trade?

Wow, that's a big word for you. Have you been playing Scrabble since we last chatted? And to think you almost made it through a whole post without any spelling errors.

It's Staal numbskull...get it right.

Why do people have a problem with Kruger.....this was his first full year in the NHL.....he got better every game. He is young with a good upside..sooooooo whats the problem?

Kevin, right?
- HawkintheD

yes my mistake.

Depends how deep he falls in round 2. I wouldn't mind having Dansk.

I don't know a damn thing about him, but he's Swedish, so he's gotta be good, right?

Alright NJ passes on Dansk Id be just as happy with him as either Subban or Vasilevski
- mvp0207

Subban is gone

Probably has to do with all of the hype StanBo placed on him as being the #2 center last season and failing miserably.

Sure but regardless he is a nice player.

Even Ek started saying he was hearing Kane for Nash , are the Hawks in on Nash ? Im sure as the draft progresses Howson gets more realistic and if its Kane plus (Stalberg or Hammer) and a pick who can beat that package ? Have the Hawks done nothing else yet because they are in on Nash ?

I thought that pick was Scotty Bowman's brainchild? At least that's how I thought the story went...

Had a feeling that was it. Do you think it will go down before July1? Thank You for answering!

The Nash thing is really starting to get annoying. More annoying than the Brad Richards saga last year. And for me personally dare i say, its like the lebron james chatter of couple years ago. Wheres he gonna go? is he staying? which team wants him? blah blah blah.

Unnamed you are my idle thanks for the research. I made this comment on a gut feeling and really didnt want to do the research, But yea (SARCASTC) Bowman and all his smurfs (/SARCASTIC)

AND TT is 5'11" so hes not a smurf.

All the "Euro's" on our prospect roster are well over 6'0". Excluding Tevu

Starts tomm at 10 am on NHL net. I'll be golfing though so I wont be here to have fun.

I won't be around much either. My kid has a ballgame and I want to watch to see how she's improved being in camp the last 2 weeks.

No problems here; especially if he keeps improving. Though not a big guy, other than Toews he and Shaw were the only forwards who went to the net with any consistency. He had maybe 9 goals and I think all of them were scored from less than 10 feet out. If he bulks up a little and continues battling in front of the net maybe he gets 15-20. If I had one complaint on his game it would be shoot more.

I would believe the blame goes to Howson. Sounds like he is unrealistic in what he thinks he should get for Nash.

- molly2522

Thanks....at one time I had the mohawk to go with the "punk" look. The term "punk" fits me.

You're a moron! It's a fitting term for you. Hopefully you find it just as complimentary as the term you threw at me.

Why do I get the sense that alcohol has something to do with all this in fighting going on here?

No - only people who don't know how to make an argument on its merits and have to resort to being personal, disagreeable, and rude.
