The first time I noticed Sikura he fumbled an easy pass in the neutral zone then turned it over for a breakaway, same shift he carried it across the offensive zone blueline but he got pressured and lost it. He disappeared after that, Hawks should try and use him in a package deal.Kurashev and Entwistle look like they're close to cracking the bottom six, if Highmore doesn't play solid 2way hockey, one of those two should get a shot vs Edmonton. Or if there's an injury. or just put him in a package.... |

yesterdays scrimmage. just watched a couple minutes for now. kind of hard for my tired old eyes to follow but the commentary by troy murray is a bonus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBaBt-w_Zt0Thanks GT; I watched for a little while. It was a little odd seeing the obviously non player, the guy in black with a stick but no number or helmet go back occasionally and stop the puck or pass it ahead to someone. I assume he would do that periodically to help eliminate lag times and keep things going and keep time spent more productive. I never was able to see who the goalies were. I did like the commentary about the team and players, especially younger ones trying to step up, etc., although Troy needed to have his mike turned up just a little. The other guy came through a little louder and was easier to hear. |

Do you really see rational in putting your 2nd leading goal scorer on a shut down line? Nolander takes Kubalik's place in the top six on the day he's nominated for the Calder? WHO else does these things because I ain't seen stuff like this in the past. In a never ending,fruitless hunt for this mystical,balanced scoring......the team went from 3.29GPG last year to 3.02GPG this year and that's WITH the addition of Kubalik. A young HC's need to tinker will stubbornly continue to deny this team a successful Kane and Toews combo,a successful Strome and D-Cat combo and it looks like JT and Kubalik were just too dam good together too. If the Bradman were still here,would we see him separated from Kane to play F'n defense? Of course I'd rather see Kubalik with T&K and Debrincat, Strome and Saad together but those lines were announced before Kubalik was announced for the Calder and he has a big playmaker in Dach so I'm ok with that, plus Caggiula showed he can play on any line, their shutdown style will lead to a lot of scoring chances. And we know Panarin can't play D 😆 he couldn't play with anyone but Kane when he was here, Kubalik can play with anyone and still produce so I don't see a problem keeping him away from top defenders. Even Hoss got 20 goals his last season in the 3rd line, no I'm not comparing them, just sayin. Nylander isn't well liked, mainly because of how he was brought here, but he skated with Kane in phase 2 and those 2 were the best forwards at scrimmage yesterday. He's still young so I'm not giving up on him. Plus him Kane and Strome seem to have good chemistry. I watched Debrincat play NHL20 vs other Hawks and he always put himself with Toews and Saad, maybe the coaches noticed that, those are good linemates for him. So unless they shit the bed vs Edmonton, I think these lines could be fun to watch. Plus the D pairings look pretty good, especially without Gus on the top2, Boqvist and Keith aren't the biggest but Duncs is a great mentor for the kid and they have great chemistry. Goaltending will be the big ? if Crow can't play but the team looks to have good depth, so that should help. You admit you'd also rather see Kubalik with K&T yet you support what you'd rather NOT see? Playmakers? Kubalik exploded with JT(42asts),we might easily see his goal production plummet with Dach(15asts) and Caggiula(6asts).....we'll see. Panarin and Hossa shouldn't be in the same conversation.....SORRY. Nolander hasn't been liked anywhere he's been and he's always looked good in practice. NHL20? The Hawks play an exhibition game with the Blues......we'll see what they think of NHL20 in their only PO tune up. I hope computer games have no baring on this PO inexperienced staff's decisions(God help us) but I don't mind D-Cat with JT as long as the captain has a sniper to set up,I'm good and of course D-Cat want's to play with him.......it beats the bottom six dreck he's seen most of the year. If I'm not mistaken,these are the same D pairings the resulted in being 31st in the league in high danger chances and other very telling stats.......NO Depth? We have the depth of your average last place team if that.......Highmore's in the lineup for God's sake. |

And we were talking about KUBALIK playing on the 3rd line so I mentioned how Hoss got 20 goals playing on the 3rd line...not sure where you thought I was saying you can't compare Panarin and Hoss, even though you shouldn't. Plus you bring up Dachs assist totals this year even though most of his time was on the 4th line with guys like Carpenter, Smith, Kampf...if you watched the compilation video of Dach you'd see he set up Kubalik a few times with beautiful passes, in fact, Kubaliks last goal was his 30th plus the last goal of the season before the lockdown and Dach gave him a perfect pass through a couple Sharks players. I liked Nylanders dad a lot and you can assume Alex wasn't liked everywhere he played but I'm cheering for the kid, even though I'd rather have Jokiharju but what's done is done. Once again, before the lockdown Nylander-Strome-Kane looked good together and making high end plays...not in practice. And most people were in isolation so the players resorted to playing an NHL20 tournament, I'm not saying the coaches are going to use that to make their lines but twist it however you'd like, I just said Debrincat kept putting himself with Toews and it seems like a good place for him, especially with Saad on RW. Lastly, Gustafsson played the majority of the season on the top2 plus de Haan didn't play many games but he was a +10, also Seabs needed 3 surgeries so that's a good excuse for the way he played. The time off and the new guys knowing the team should help. |

That number would have been 25-30 depending on who he played with. DeBrincat was getting his chances playing with his buddy Strome and Dach but was unable to finish at his usual rate. If DeBrincat had scored an additional 10 goals playing with Strome and Dach, Dach would have ended up with 20-25 assists. Big difference. If Debrincat and Kubalik have their shooting eye I expect to see JT and Dach with plenty of assists along with their goals.

Toews had a career high 46asts the year before last and not a single one of were to Kubalik if I recall,he sets up whoever he's with. 25 assists? That was his lowest total ever in the shortened 48 game season. I agree with you as far as "as long as the captain has a sniper to set up I'm good" ....I'm good to than. I just continue to be surprised to see any HC take his scalding hot rookie goal scorer and put him on a shut down line but JC breaks up every successful combo he's sever had in his quest for balanced scoring. Do you guys believe Kubalik will be as productive on this new line? |

Sorry for mentioning but there is always an exception because JT could not help Dylan Sikura score. This season was also shortened. This qualifier series should be a high scoring affair so having three scoring lines makes sense. The Dach line is Ln 2B. The Kampf line is the shutdown line.
Kubalik is a sniper and both Dach and Caggs are capable top line players. Kubalik will get his opportunities. The rest is up to him.

I kind of disagree, my choice of line mates
JT , between Saad and Kubalik
Cat with strome and kane
dach with Caggs, and Nylander
the 4th I guess ,would be who ever is playing harder

Toews has busted his ass to set up his linemates his entire career,Kubalik took advantage of that as any decent player should. Dylan Sikura SUCKS and only a HC without a clue would play him on a top line........NOT sorry to mention that! Three scoring lines? WE'll see about that. Dach and Caggiula have been top line players nowhere else,Dach might be if he learns the game one day and DC has 41 career goals @26. If we do have a 2B line,it won't be due to the players on it,it'll be due to Nolander killing his 2A line. Caggiula has 21 goals the last three seasons and now he's a top six forward only here under a mis-guided HC. A high scoring affair? YES,the Hawks will give up goals like crazy! |

Do you guys believe Kubalik will be as productive on this new line? Maybe that's Stan's plan. Stick him on the 3rd line to devalue him for contract time (knowing the team isn't going anywhere anyways this year). If he happened to light it up with Toews for a round or two, his sticker price would go up.

Personally, I doubt the org is demoting Kubalik to devalue him. I truly think they think they know what they’re doing. Trying this insane balance that won’t work because we just don’t have a balance. They tried Saad in the 3rd line, Dcat, Strome on the 4th. It’s very redundant to keep doing what they’ve done!!!

I just continue to be surprised to see any HC take his scalding hot rookie goal scorer and put him on a shut down line but JC breaks up every successful combo he's sever had in his quest for balanced scoring.
Do you guys believe Kubalik will be as productive on this new line? Maybe that's Stan's plan. Stick him on the 3rd line to devalue him for contract time (knowing the team isn't going anywhere anyways this year). If he happened to light it up with Toews for a round or two, his sticker price would go up.
Very possible and makes more sense too. |

Thanks, GT. We enjoyed seeing this scrimmage. I have to say that Dach looked quite awesome out there. His speed really impressed me. |
