MTL gets Gus Doms idea looking for Hawks fans thoughts

It look good!
But I would keep DeBrincat with Kane and secure the second line with Tatar...
as well DeHaan before Maatta... and maybe playing together if Koekkoek can't take more minutes

I need to see another year of Gus first to be comfortable with this.

Debrincat doesn't play the 1st line. He's too small against the opponents first lines. They tried that experiment for a handful of games last year a couple times and didn't work.

Don't like this for the Hawks. Gus is more valuable then Tatar and while i see you're offsetting that with Smith and moving up a round in the draft, still not comfortable with Tatar. He's on the tailend of his career and we have a similar player in Saad. Folin is dead weight...zero value for the Hawks given how deep we are on defensive prospects....Gilbert, Carlsson, Beaudin, Krys, Mitchell, Boqvist, Holm, etc.

Not sure MTL wants to move Tatar. I’d also think De Haan and Boker are our 1st line D. Then Keith Murph. Then Maatta Seabs/Kookoo
