2023-24 CHI

Gurianov won't be signed. Raddysh slots in on 2RW. He is not a scratch. Kurashev will be on 3rd line after he gets signed. If Hawks bring in a guy like Dermott, it's on a 1 year deal for $1m and he'd be the 7th D.

I mean I get that this site is ACGM and it's fun to play around and try different things but realistically if you're a fan and you're paying attention to the Hawks media then you know they're not making any more moves except signing Kurashev and Bedard. They already have like 15 forwards competing for 13 spots and Phillips, Korchinski, Tinordi, Vlasic, Roos and Kaiser all battling for the 3 LD spots + healthy scratch. So it doesn't make sense to sign random players that just take up ice time from prospects who are ready to take the leap.

Agreed. Although, I kind of wonder if, once that Hockey Canada report comes out soon, Raddysh and/or Katchouk will no longer be NHL players. Seems like this over abundance of forwards in CHI was pretty intentional. Maybe Davidson knows something we don't.

I am PURELY speculating, here, btw. So, who knows.
