My favorite teams
Honestly, a bottom line of Beach, Bollig, and Mayers doesn't sound too bad.

While Mayers have been the only one of this years acquisitions that has done what he was supposed to and then some, he is getting up there in age already and would look for other options. Maybe another year if nothing else can be found.

Man having Carcillos prescense on this team in the Playoffs would have been nice.
Too bad the Special person hurt himself.

Yeah, too much redundancy in guys that play soft hockey. So what does that have to do with Carcillo and Shaw?

So your saying "it moved a little"?
oh it moved all right. Anyone who says he isn't one of the top forwards on the team in the past two games is a hater.

They do not need two Carcillos they need to get some size in the depth core. Stan could have used those dollars to sign a fourth liner like Fraser who has grit with discipline. Shaw gives you everything Carcillo can do with the ability to score.
If Carcillo is playing more than 40 games that means they are still lacking depth. If you want to make Carcillo your 21st man...then fine.

They need the same 3 things they needed going into this season.
Maybe a coaching change? I don't want to get into that one as its been covered every second
Maybe less lame shit from the head office and more focus on the game on the ice
No more buying out contracts (highly unlikely)
- A legit top LW that can play 1st or second line who isn't slow and washed up (could be Saad)
- A second line center
- A depth blueliner (a right handed shot would be a bonus)

1. Brandon Saad could be that guy next year
2. We HAVE a second line center, Q just thinks he's the third line center.
3. We have lots of depth Defensemen (Sucks that they are all left shots) But no legit #3 Defensemen.

No offense, but, you're insane. Like Fraser who has grit with discipline? I take it you didn't watch the LA/Van game the other night where Fraser stuck his knee out on a guy in the offensive zone, who didn't have the puck, and took a penalty that put his team down 2-1. Yeah, great discipline there. Fraser sucks. He's a dime a dozen player, and Carcillo is ten times the hockey player he is. He is also better than every guy on the Hawks' fourth line the last two games.

1 versus a cazillion by Carcillo.
Not talking Fraser over Carcillo, I am saying with the Shaw and Bollig, Carcillo is not needed.
Fraser over Mayers. Mayers did fine this season but he is getting long in the tooth and who knows when he can't do it anymore...this is my reasoning for Fraser. I am open to any other name for the fourth line center...not looking for an argument.
But I stand on the Carcillo signing was not needed, that I will argue until Kingdom Comes!

Buff averaged 17 goals a year (19, 15, 17) the three full seasons he was a Hawk.
Frolik had 11 goals last year 5 goals this year. Bickell went from 17 to 9.
I still don't understand the perception that Buff was quiet during the reg season when he was a Hawk.

Buff was notorious for taking long stretches of time off. He is capable of scoring probably 30 goals if he could bring some consistency to his game during the regular season.

The reason I believe that Scooter did not address any of the glaring holes this team has is that he and management didn't see this as the team that could get it done and are planning to load up next off-season, especially now that the CBA is going to be negotiated.

The only way Frazier will ever don a Hawks jersey again will be if you take Scooters job.
As for another center for next year Mark McNiel is big and some have projected him to be very close to being ready.
As for Frazier

I am talking about a fourth line center and you want to bring up McNeil on the fourth line and stunt his playing time when he will need to play. If you are talking of bringing McNeil up to be the second line center then they still need a fourth line center to replace Mayers and yes I am not totally against re-signing Mayers but no one knows how much he has left...it is a gamble.

Mayers was solid in his role. Jettison Lepisto, OD, Brunette, and Morrison. Trade Frolik while he has value. Get a legit 2 C,
a crease clearing dman ( Barrett Jackman is a UFA ), upgrade at goalie ( Vokoun, Nittimaka, Gustovsen are all UFA's),
and infuse some of the young talent. Basically add pieces to the core in identified weak areas and add some youth.
