I'm fine with Debrusk, or any mid 6 forward in that range really. I think Stephenson gets more money froma. contender, probably won't be in our price range and that is okay. Nazar and EDM will get NHL time, maybe full time if they earn it but probably a split between both so they can fill up those games. Agree with signing a Vet RD, although I don't think we need Mete. I would just resign phillips. I agree that we should move on from Reece Johnson but I do still think Macker has a place here. I think Nazar can take the Stephenson spot and Kaiser/EDM can split NHL time next year. Overall I like more of the ideas here though. I wouldn't quite go as far as being .500 next year but I expect some natural improvement for sure. Love Demidov at 2, but hawks need to be bad enough to secure one last high lotto pick imo.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Alright, so, most college players don't surpass a ppg, and most that do are either elite, riding the coattails of an elite player, or have really good chemistry with someone else and have been playing in college for 3+ years. While Brindley and McGroarty had all of last year to build chemistry, and played together almost exclusively this year (when healthy), Nazar put up just under a point per game mostly while running his own line being the sole chance creator with a rotating cast of linemates, coming off a major hip surgery and a whole year of lost development. Also, you could just watch him and the things he does, and how obvious it was that most of the other guys in Michigan just weren't on his level of IQ, vision, anticipation, and work ethic. Not to say that they weren't a pretty hard working team, but if you watch enough games you can see how often he would create these plays with no one there or ready to capitalize, or how often he would be in the most optimal positions and his teammates wouldn't even see him because they just weren't processing optimally or aware of their surroundings. He is an amazing skater, a great passer, playmaker, and shooter, dominates at the dot. And that is all just the offensive zone. On the defensive side, he takes responsibility and works hard in his own zone, he kills penalties, vocally dictates positioning on the ice, efficiently shuts down his marks, even those much bigger than him, isn't afraid to be physical and, for a small guy, is actually REALLY good at making and absorbing hits. Exudes confidence. And all of that has already shown in just his first two games in the NHL. The kid is gonna be a stud, an important part of the team, and a fan favorite, whether it is on the first, second, or third line.</div></div>

This guy you are responding too is a prime example of why you can't just look at point totals on elite prospects and call that a scouting report

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>No way. Gudas just signed this season for $4M and he's 33 years old. Brodin signed at 28 years old for $6M 3 years ago. McDonagh signed at 30 years old for $6.75M 5 years ago. Slavin signed 6 years ago, age 23 at $5.3M which is probably the closest to Vlasic...6 years ago!

With a 22 year old on a long term deal playing at the level of those players today, and you're paying for future ability obviously and against a rising cap, those comps aren't going to land Vlasic. Player contracts are based on a % against the total cap obviously. When all those players signed the cap limits were lower and they were much older aside from Slavin. Not only would he NOT be overpaid at $5.2M next year...that would be about fair market value (at least in the ballpark), he would be way underpaid in a few years against a rising cap to boot.</div></div>

Vlasic is the next Slavin. this is the agenda i've been pushing, glad to see someone else also sees it
