You've spelled Nazar a few different ways but you'll learn how to spell NAZAR lol the kid is special, I've never heard of a kid stepping on the ice for the very first time and he was a natural and was told he doesn't have to come back for skating lessons. We'll forget Dach when Nazar gets comfortable in the NHL, possibly next season with Korchinski. If he’s fast like they say. He’ll be called Nascar!!! I think he can turn right as well as left. |

Apart from the best teams' prediction, I'm surprised to see Montreal over Buffalo and Philly over Columbus. |

Surprised at Seattle 3rd in the Pacific. I’m skeptical of that one.

Surprised at Seattle 3rd in the Pacific. I’m skeptical of that one. Hard to see where/how Seattle finish third ahead of LA, Vancouver & Vegas, unless Marty B. and Wright are the second coming of 19 & 88 of our Hawks in their first full years together. |

I am going to backpedal from my bold -- and unduly optimistic -- prediction that the Hawks will win at least one game. I am going with a much more realistic prediction: the Hawks will score at least one goal this season.

I predicted the Hawks will win 23gms, I don't know if they'll get 20 now.

I’ll say a wee bit worse than GT at 22 wins 52 losses 8 OTL. 52 points on the year!!! I’m not going to edit. I’m flat out changing my take on this team. I’m gonna say 19 wins 54 losses 9 OT losses for a whopping 47 points this year. The goaltending is worse than we ever thought. Neither is an actual NHL tendy. I may actually rethink this and change again to something worse. We all know he’ll isn’t coming this year to make the roster better. The plan is to flat out tank. It is what it is. On a side note. I got SN Now (Premium). It was only 179$ for the year, and by year they mean till next October. So it’s really not that bad to pay for it. I like supporting things, especially hockey. We have seasons tix for the Spitfires and Belle River Canadiens (Jr C). We support all the hockey in this area that we can. So I get to watch every game I want in crystal clear 4K!!! |

Yeah gonna worse then anything we have seen , makes me giggle when I hear people talking about Luke keeping that room together. That room will just be fun and games before the end of November.Also you can tell how full of shit KD was about 88&19 teaching the kids he doesn’t want anybody by the big club. Another prediction 88 and 19 both get hurt and gone for the year. Good lesson for the kids though no matter how much you give at the end of the day you are just a piece of meat. Did think about getting the AHL package think I will wait til next year for that.

Did think about getting the AHL package think I will wait til next year for that. One thing I will say. At least there’s a plan. In the 90s it was just trade anyone who wants money. Replace them with a warm body. But much much cheaper. Now, they know how to get there, and it seems they’re willing to do the unpopular stuff to get there. So it’s not like they wanna get worse for trivial reasons. They want the nice rewards at the top of the draft board. They’ll get there. It’s gonna be painful. There’s no doubt. But it was either gonna be massively painful now. Or painful for a decade in 2-3 years time if they let it rot on the vine!!! |

I still say 0-0-82 82 points and mid pack draft. How disastrous would that be? Imagine going winless the whole year and not even coming close to the top 3 picks? Or in a twist of fate, Hawks do go 0-0-82. Finish 9th worst somehow and move up the max 8 spots to get to the first overall. Now that would be entertaining!!! |

However it would require the Hawks to be competitive in every game which clearly ain’t gonna happen. I would say they will have “lost” half their games - 41 - by the end of the first period by being at least 2 goals behind. |

Looking at last year's standings, none of the teams got fewer than 20 wins. I'd say then: W20 - L50 - OTL12

It helps to remember you can't spell Slaughter without Laughter.

Looking at last year's standings, none of the teams got fewer than 20 wins. I'd say then: W20 - L50 - OTL12 First time for everything. 19 and 88 will determine just how bad they end up, but I can visualize this team getting fewer than 18 wins. As the losses mount up, it'll be more and more difficult for players to bring their "A" game. At least they have a decent head coach to help keep them positive. |

Bumping this up. I’m at 47 points for the year. Hawks currently have 20 in 26 games. I’m just slightly off the 47 point pace. However. I don’t see the Hawks even getting to 47 now. Experts are calling for 56. I’ve been drinking a lot too, and I wouldn’t even say that the Hawks would be at 56!!!

I had them at 62 total points, so I am way off right now. |

However, I highly doubt the team has a getting many more wins the rest of the way now. They e fully caught stride and the tank is on. Players and coaches both know that management doesn’t care about wins and will do everything possible to ensure the top pick. So they may mail it in after the TDL and look at 1 win from there on in!!! |

Especially if 88 asks for a trade. |

A 28-42-12 team that finished 27th with 68 points loses DeBrincat,Strome,Kubalik and Dach and their 87 goals/184 points last year and replaces that with AA,Domi and Blackwell and their 32 goals/71 points last year,MAF with Mrazek and deHAAN's 4th best 172 blocks with Johnson. I have to wonder what Kane's #'s look like w/o a single,consistant goal scorer to set up and nobody but JT to set him up IF they play together but I have to think both will be looking for #'s in their contract years.......if that even matters. I see 20-25 W's and I'll predict 58 points when it's all said n done. I went with 58pts and the team's currently on a 61-62 point pace as gt mentioned. (IF) the team moves a few vets as expected,we should see a drop-off in play......GET ER DONE! Nine days and counting till the music stops. |

19 - 54 - 9 = 47 points Combination of rookie head coach, lesser quality in goal, and so many new faces that will lead to lack of chemistry and familiarity. My prediction pretty much impossible now. Hawks would need to go 0 - 22 - 4 the rest of the way to match. |
