Vermette for sure but that addage Cbus was not dealing him in the division. I'll agree with that one. And it's been known for a long time Dallas does not like to deal within the Conference. Those aren't false accusations.. And I'm not apologist thats for damn sure. I'm also not over paying just to get a chance....
I also agree Tony, With that talent it's hard to crack Top Six...
Trev the Flames sucked ass you might have been top 6....

I already said it long ago.... #10, which is exactly what I'd have done last year. I'm still not sold Doan is staying in Pheonix either...

I have always liked Plekanic. I find hard to believe Montreal would give him up. But he would be great. He had kind of a down year last year. But he still has tons of talent and he is excellent on face-offs and the pk.

I think you are wrong on the teams weakest link being Center. I firmly believe it is betweent the pipes! Move Crawford or keep him as backup but get Lou, he will put us in the end game for sure and be another great Hawk goalie...its time we had another one!

The Hawks don't have to get better the other teams just have to get a little worse.

My favorite teams
Why would we pair two left handed shot D-men together when we have two right-handed shots avaliable--especially seeing how well that worked last year? I think one goes with Brookbank, the other goes with Monty, and one of Leddy or Hammer gets moved.
Might not be a bad idea and might solve the issue of the extra Left-handed shot d-man we have. The thing is, we'd need someone who could at least passably anchor Bickell and Frolik/Shaw, because Kruger would be a trainwreck and we have been spoiled with Bolland there. IMHO Malhotra would be the guy but I think the only way that happens in in an EA game.
Personally, if we did get that mystery #3C, I would like to see a top-6 lineup of Stalberg/Toews/Kane and Sharp/Bolland/Hossa, and Q sticking to them enough to develop some chemistry.

That top six would in fact produce a lot of goals

Q is not a Bolland fan, I think. Hardly gives him PP time either. I've seen top six caliber play out of Bolland and I'm sure most people here have. Why he has never been given a long look there, who the **** knows.

Yeah I want to meet the coach that invented that Special person shit. "Oh let's put a guy that has no experience as a Dman, no idea about the movements as a Dman on the PP and have that guy play D on the PP"

So...he's 3rd on the team/forwards in PK time (behind Hoss/Toews) per gam
He's 6th on forwards in PP time
3rd in shifts per game
Q's big on matchups...and puts him out there versus other teams top lines
In the playoffs..the last 4 years - he lead the Hawks in shifts per game - meaning Q is tapping him over the boards more than any Hawks....but Q doesn't like him/screws him over.

I don't know. If you like someone, do you really make them play most of the season with Bickell and Frolik? Stats be damned!

Well...some here say Frolik should be a second line player...and gets 'screwed' playing in a '3rd line' with Bolland...who allegedly should be a 2nd liner as well....(not sure how that works,lol)

I know if i don't like a player, I'm not tapping him over the boards more than anyone else, especially in the playoffs.
But...Q doesnt like/trust Bolland

Well, it's one of two things.
1) He likes Bolland WAY too much as a shut-down center, and doesn't want to take away from that strength of his.
2) He doesn't feel Bolland is capable of producing in a top-six role.
I don't know. It just makes no sense to me, with the way this team has struggled up the middle the last couple seasons. It also makes no sense that Sharp hasn't played center either.... My brain hurts trying to figure out their reasoning for this shit.
