Get the man help

I'd be very hesitant to sign guentzel into his late 30's

I’m starting to be more convinced that Korchinski should be sent to AHL next season and let him marinate there and grow.

We’ll see also if Nazar is ready or if he needs a year in the A. I’m leaning minors for him too.

Lmao "the man"

I doubt Nazar plays with the Hawks out of the gates next season. More likely he plays in Rockford at least the first third of the season. There's no reason to rush him.

Vlasic is on the top line with Jones. Jones needs a big stay at home defender and looks much better with Vlasic.

Del Mastro, Philips, Kaiser, and Crevier should rotate in and out of the lineup until one of them emerges.

Put Kurashev on the RW IMO, he plays well on his off-side.

Put Reichel with AA as they've had chemistry in the past.

Celebrini would be great to land of course, and I do believe he would be ready right away, but the Hawks may end up keeping him in college for another season as they are in no rush. Lottery odds are still in favor of the Hawks not landing the #1 OA even as a last place team. In that case, Levshunov, Lindstrom, and Demidov would all be options and another season away anyway.

Giving Guentzel $8.5M for a player turning 30 years before the start of next season would be a mistake. The Hawks should NOT be adding any huge names, nor players on the wrong side of 30.

This team, while probably not as a bad as this year, still is in rebuild/tank mode next year, which is okay.

Kyle from Chicago has stated he's not looking at any big name UFA's this summer, so signing Guentzel seems unlikely. I could see the Hawks target Tarasenko, Eberle or someone like that on a short term deal to play w/ Bedard though.
