just following through on a comment made by T. I'm sure he is tired of it as well. I've made my thoughts known as far as whether or not I think the core should be moved. I wouldn't even consider moving 2 of the 3. one of them would be sufficient to create cap space and add pieces for the future (Kane). another would at least create cap space (Keith). Let's imagine Kane and Toews hits were miraculously gone,that means Scambo could add guys Shaw,Smith,Maata and de Haan and have a bit left over but not much. Cap space is what a team makes of it. If the team moves one,do the others want to stay? I have no idea.

When the article talks about the Hawks struggles with long term development of prospects, some things we should find out are, 1. Now that Sikura is in another organization, will he start progressing or remain the same player he has been? 2. Will Beaudin develop at Rockford and eventually become NHL caliber? He spent last year at Rockford and likely will again, if the AHL has a 2021-22 season of some type. 3. Will Chad Krys develop? He's the forgotten smallish, offensive d-man out of the group. He was a 2nd rd. pick that spent last season at Rockford and will again.

Are this years U20 World Juniors actually considered the 2021 World Juniors? This has confused me numerous times in the past when I've looked up rosters for various countries and put in the year the tournament started rather than when it ended.

The kid has some meat on his bones too but how does bringing in,Janmark,Wallmark,Suter,Chalupa and keeping Shaw,Smith and Carpenter(all vets) afford this kid a shot? The logjam at forward for him and Entwhistle seems to be the same logjam the young D-men are facing and a rebuilding team needs kids instead of vets one would think.

The logjam at forward for him and Entwhistle seems to be the same logjam the young D-men are facing and a rebuilding team needs kids instead of vets one would think. I’ve made it perfectly clear I’m all for a rebuild. But I’m with you here. Are they going with kids or just the Euro FA signings they’ve got. Cuz I guess anything younger than me (44) is a youth movement I guess. So I’m quite perplexed at the Hawks youth movement or rebuild or whatever they called it. Without a goalie that can stop palpitating deep wounds in the D. I don’t see the Hawks winning many games. And you can see it in Kane and Toews performances. Plus when Stan said that “Toews can’t do it all alone”. I agree. So taking away a rockstar in net is the way to get Toews to do less? And I hate to say it. Even though Maatta was as slow as an aging males labido. He was starting to look like a guy that could be counted on and could be paired with a kid. So far I’ve seen nothing out of DeHaan. At least not 4+ million worth. So in closing. If Stan cannot find the right mix of NHLers and Free Agents. How’s he gonna do so through the draft? If he just doesn’t get chemistry and the blueprint it takes to win, then the team more than likely will continue to sink until Kane and Toews fade away. Then they’ll hit rock bottom, probably lucky and draft another dynamic duo, only to never find the proper chemistry or blueprint to surround them with. Rinse and repeat!!!

Good sign. Plus it looks like he’s wearing an “A”. The upcoming WJC will be more fun to watch this year with more players to follow.

i guess you have to keep in mind that these prospects are being graded on a team sponsored site by the same scouts that drafted them, but it's pretty interesting just the same (i thought). i was pleasantly surprised to see guys like hagel and kurashev doing so well in some of the categories. www.nhl.com/blackhawks/team/prospects

^^ Thanks GT. I was thinking world junior teams normally carried three G's on their final roster, with the third G sort of injury insurance. I thought training camp determined the starter and backup, with the third guy needed in case of injury to one of the first two.
Does Commesso have a really good chance to be on the final team, even as a third G, assuming he looks decent in training camp?

I understand the coaches/schools concerns. But shouldn’t that be up to the player and his family to decide? I feel that it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and hockey USA and everyone else will do a great job with this thing and the kids. It would be cool to see all the beet kids be there. I’m not trying to make it sound like draconian measures put in place by the schools, but I think the power should be in the players hands!!!

You're right GT, it's too bad Commesso, Vlasic and Saarela will miss the wjc's. I thought the wjc's would have been especially beneficial for Commesso since he's coming out of the USNTDP team and hasn't played a college game yet. I read Boston U. won't play until Jan. 8 due to Covid concerns.

It sounds like the players were exposed to the virus,why bring that into a training bubble?

None of that info is out there as of yet, so we have to think that the schools are doing this, like Michigan did. I’m not trying to argue this, just though the decision would end up in the kids and his parents hands, if healthy of course!!!

BU cancelled their opener Saturday night and won't resume till Jan 8th,they only mentioned one positive test but that might change. Instead of quarantining,should these kids just travel around and be near other kids. We don't know who made this decision and it could easily be team USA,did Michigan hold players out due to the virus? How could the three BU players have joined a camp that started over the weekend if they're under quarantine?

We don't know who made this decision and it could easily be team USA,did Michigan hold players out due to the virus? How could the three BU players have joined a camp that started over the weekend if they're under quarantine? First off. They’re not letting them go at all. The tourney isn’t for another bit. So they could still make it. And if they tested negative, they could be there quite soon. Again, not much info is out there if the schools or the national teams made the decisions. All I’m saying is the decision should be left in the hands of the kid and his family. I’m sure USA hockey isn’t a dump, they care greatly for the kids. I’m sure you know that. Ya, anything can happen. Like it did in team Canada. So I’m not condoning unsafe behaviour, I just think if those teams are shit down anyways, why not let the kid get tested and if negative, go have the experience of a lifetime? That’s all I’m saying!!!
