Boqvist can't play in AHL I believe.

Here's my July's lineup

Saarela-Nilsson-Nylander/DSikura
Quenneville-Kurashev-Highmore
Wedin-Haakarainen-Entwistle
Soderlund-Knott-Fortin
Hagel-Johnson-Vesteeg
Moutrey-TSikura


Coughlin, Ramsey, McLaughlin, Noel, Thompson in ECHL

Carlsson-Gilbert
Tuulola-Ryczek*
Krys-McArdle*
Osipov*

Delia
Lankinen

Marchand and Tomkins in ECHL


Dach, Beaudin, Boqvist in CHL



One of Nylander/DSikura is in NHL, one in AHL. I priorized players on NHL contracts (that's why Versteeg and TSikura are out).

Some AHL veterans will probably be signed as there would be (*) 3 dman on AHL contracts in a rookie & two 7thD. (If Dahlstrom is waived, maybe it adds another option).

Sucks for Delia to be in AHL but okay

Toews is better than Crosby.

no he is not, bud

Yes he is. In head to head matchups throughout their careers (14 games), Toews has put up 18 points and a +10 rating whereas Crosby has only 7 points and a -12 rating. The numbers never lie, Toews is the better player by quite a distance. Crosby only performs well against small teams but he chokes against elite opponents.

cool, head-to-head is great but overall, Crosby is the better player; maybe Toews is better defensively but 11/12 people will say Crosby is better

Boqvist is able to play in the A, as is Beaudin. Both of them will be in the top 4 getting all situation minutes. Keeping them in the O and the Q wont help their development anymore

Source for Boqvist/Beaudin eligible for AHL? Just asking

Read plenty of beat articles for the Hawks. First, Beaudin already has played in the AHL. Second, Bowman has been quoted as Boqvist may play in Rockford this year. Try Secondcityhockey.com along with the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun Times.

Would love to see bowman sign a legit veteran defenseman 30+ with nhl experience for the hogs. Very very young d corps
