Korchinski with another primary assist last night to give him 50pts, and it was on the gwg in a 4-2 win. 7g-43a in 37gms. Korchinski made a nice play to move in toward the net from the blue line and get the pass/shot on net where Ciona put it in. The announcer called it a nice pass but I thought it was a shot and since they didn't show a replay I'm not sure if it was a shot or a very high level pass but in either case it was the primary assist. |

I already have his poster on my wall! I’m happy we’ve got something to write home about. The kid possesses all the tools. I suggest people go back and watch video of Cale Makar when he was drafted. Remember. Makar was drafted out of the AJHL. That’s a step below the WHL. Ya he dominated there. But look at what KK has done in a better league at the same age. They both skate amazing, they have that hockey wherewithal that not everyone has. I’m not saying he’s the next Makar. But I’m just showing the comparable’s at the same age. Plus Makar is 5’11”. KK 6’2”. So a bit of an advantage there. There’s always a chance that for whatever reason a kid just doesn’t make it. I really don’t think that’s the case here. I think at worst, he’ll project to be a Seth Jones. Which is still a great thing!!! Yes, I believe it is a great thing. Lotta peeps saying that Jones is going to win Norris Trophy in the future. Maybe when Cale Makar retires, lol. But still he is very talented. Not his fault that Chicago overpaid him. So he took what he can get, and baby, ya ain't seen nothin' yet. I can't help getting excited by the future Hawks. Especially if we win the lotto. If not, we will still get a premium center, and that is OK. Goin all BTO on us here.  Korchinski isn't as fast as Makar, but he's not far off and more importantly he's got that elusive ability to make little moves while controlling the puck and move into more advantageous places from which to make plays. The other think Makar is better at than Korchinski is his shot - Makar has a hard accurate wrist shot where Korchinski has yet to develop his wrist shot to that level. The good news is he's shooting more now than he used to which is good. |

Crawford(2 cups)was an overpaid bum @6m because.....'we can win with a cardboard cut-out in net'
Kane and Toews(3 cups)selfishly robbed their team of further success @10.5M each and can't be shown the door fast enough.
Keith(3 cups)did the same @5.5M,Seabrook(3 cups)was a 'fat',aging target @6.7M,Bickell,Bolland and Shaw(2 cups each)were all 4M or under and all traded because they weren't affordable and DeBrincat wasn't worth a big re-do either......okay. Many other honors in the trophy cases of Kane,Toews and Keith as well and CC deserved a 'Connie' too!
I know the cap constraints are different now but we need more S Jones'(empty trophy case) for 9.5M for 7 more with full NMC till 35? I love ya '2old' but we ain't seen nothing much to be honest considering the pay grade and who are those "peeps" my friend........-26!
It was just the "wrong time" for some talented players between the ages of 21-24 but a 28yro S Jones is now the pilar of a rebuild that could take 5+ years as I've been told? The guy'll be 33 with 1,000+ games on the tires with full NMC in 5 years but.....okay. And,if fortune smiles on us and we have a few future superstars to extend right after their ELC's,as teams are doing.......the cap will become an issue again and probably at that point. His brother will probably still F'n be here too at that point,taking a spot from a younger/better player.

And Jones wasn't traded for, or signed by KD and no one wants that contract, I'm sure KD would move him is he could because he shouldn't be part of the rebuild but he's stuck with him. |

When the next season 4 other goalies made more than Crow. Crow at 35 was offered a 3mil contract by the Hawks and turned it down for the Devils 3.5 contract for 2 years...Then never showed up. Seabs was done, he needed both hips replaced and played despite that since he was a warrior. He couldn't turn and chase anymore. Keith WANTED to leave so he could be by his kids. Bickell for what he was, was not a 4 mil player and Shaw's and Bollands concussions did them in. |

My bad for not quoting one the posts I was referring too that referred to S Jones and his future first. I didn't blame KD for S Jones and I know who signed him, I just disagreed with an assessment of him and the "right time' aspect of a 28yro's value to a lengthy rebuild. Kinda what I do here......LOL! The rant? I know the cap don't matter now and won't for some time but ya gotta agree that overpaid guys just don't rankle folks the way they used to. |

Bickell for what he was, was not a 4 mil player and Shaw's and Bollands concussions did them in. Crow was slaughtered in the media(even Edzo and Doc had a ball),by know nothing fans AND some very knowledgeable posters on the old boards weren't his biggest supporters either to put it politely. His salary was also indeed a 'bone of contention' for many who didn't think the team needed to spend big money on a GT. Crow at 35 was concussion free for almost 2 years and might have been the team's best player a few months before being disrespectfully refused a two year deal and probably for less than 3.5M. About the usual amount of respect he always received. Letting Corey Crawford finish his career in Chicago,epecially since he was still playing well is a good look for all involved IMO and what does the 2nd year hurt? The team didn't have a better GT and a FA replacement would be as much or more for just as long. Somebody paid Mrazek 3.8M for two years. And "Then never showed up" is quite the back-handed,par for the course Crawford banter I'm referring to T-man,the 'Delta' variant was ravaging the east coast,aftr the holidays when the NHL restarted back in January of '21' and Crawford decided not to relocate himself and his family into it. He might have still been crushed by the only team he'd known kickin' him to the curb too. How damaging to the team's future could a 2nd year possibly have been? I know the other guy's histories too and how it ended up here for em but all of em caught flack for their salaries and well before it ended up.........those flack guns seem empty now. |

Same with gap control - haven't seen him get walked. He battles on the wall pretty well and is composed and makes good plays to get the puck up and out either by pass or skating but the one area I've noticed still needing improvement is he seems to get lost in the play every now and then - doesn't happen often but every now and then - probably less than once per game. |

I believe only 3 of the defense we have in the system will make it. And I believe Korchinski is one of them. Not all kids make it. We know this. I don’t know who else makes it, but there will definitely be a surprise in there. I truly believe the rest of the d are yet to be drafted, traded for, or signed. History is the best teacher. No team draft 6 of their 7 dmen. They get traded, waived etc.
It’ll be 2024/25 when we start to see some fruit from this. Next year is a true tank. Whomever is drafted with the Hawks 1st pick this year. Unless it’s Bedard. They’ll be going back. Then In 2024 we’ll see about 4 or 5 kids. And again in 2025 another 5. The last 10 spots will be filled by UFA and trades. Just like any other team!!!

Shouldn't a few of them be ready this year or next? |

If I had to pick one trait to hang my prognosticator hat on to identify the prospects with the best chances to make it to the NHL - it would be skating. Obviously they will need other skills and traits too - just I put skating on the top of the list. Korchinski is a very good skater - del Mastro not so much. Doesn't mean del Mastro doesn't make it - just that skating isn't going to be a strength of his. Connor Murphy has made a career so why not del Mastro? The d-prospects who skate well enough to have a chance - Allan, Kaiser, maybe Rinzel. |

I'm not big on Regula. but I think Phillips and Vlassic have shown enough to get an extended look the rest of this season and next. |

I also believe most will be traded in lateral moves to try something else. Hronek was having a fantastic year in Detroit. They just traded him, and he’s only 25. I don’t say this out of negativity, just the realistic odds. That’s why Tallon says you need 30 kids to sift through for a rebuild. Even with a rebuild, you’ll end up with 10-12 players you drafted on your roster, at most. The rest will more than likely be trade fodder to round out the roster. Look at Toronta, they only have maybe 6 players they drafted playing on that team right now. Same for the rangers. And I think the Hawks will end up kinda like that at some point!!! |

KD has clearly shown with Reichel he’s not rushing prospects. I think next year you’ll see maybe Vlasic, Reichel and probably Phillips. Then in 2024, you’ll see 4-5 of KDs kids come in. Then the same amount the year after. That’s when you’ll see one’s that aren’t working traded and it’ll take a few years of growing pains. Same as NJ. They’ve got a ton of trade fodder and kids still coming. They’re in great shape going forward. I hope the Hawks have the same here in a few years!!! |

It's up to the Org to handle their kids as they see fit and I'll leave it up to them as I become a bit less invested,it won't be hard to reinvest when I see a youth movement though. I think a total teardown/tanking team full of veterans befuddles fans and I personally can't watch much more of it.
But,it won't be hard to tune back in to see how Reichel or Vlasic or Regula or Phillips or Mitchell(I think he'll be too cheap not to re-sign) or Soderblom/Stauber are doing. None of these players are under 21 and all the D-men are in desperate need of NHL starts IMO......they're the only way to properly develop and more importantly,assess. This rushes no one.
Not doing so this year is water under the bridge,not doing so again next year would be a mistake as far as I'm concerned.
If younger players become ready next year,GREAT,some are highly touted,if not,that's okay too......rush no one. If any of these early 20-year-olds I mentioned are good enough to make the team better than need be next year,that can be nothing but a positive and that better than need be play can be mitigated by how a player is used and how much better can they make this team next year anyway? Really?

Good point brought up in the article. He turns 19 in June. Do the Hawks bring him in next season, either here or Rockford, Or let him go back to Seattle and dominate there again and another JR Gold for Canada? Same goes for Allan as they're teammates there. Build that future pairing without pressure. |

True, he's not eligible to play in the AHL - BUT - I wouldn't mind seeing him get 9 games with the Hawks and then pull the Shane Wright move where he goes to the AHL for "conditioning" before being returned to JRs. This, of course, would be subject to him showing enough in training camp to warrant getting some games with the big boys. For as excited as I am for Korchinski's future with the Hawks - there are some areas he needs to work on - getting stronger to better hold his own in board battles and a better shot, both velocity and accuracy. Not show stoppers by any means, but things he can get better at playing in JRs. |

For me if they go to Rockford I would hate to see them brought up and down like yo-yo's to the Hawks. ala Mitchell. Does him no favors. I want them to be ready and stay full time up here. |

This kid will be the first of many busts because the current GM is trash and so is his scouting department.

How many times have you seen Korchinski play either in person or on TV? Really not fair to the kid to make ridiculous comments based on your personal dislike for the GM. I really like and enjoy to see/read other board members comments here based on their honest opinion. Even if you do not agree it still gives you a different perspective. You on the other hand choose to bash and really don't offer any perspective even worthy of debate. I am sure you will hurl another one of your your expletives but please do us favor and either provide honest opinions/comments or leave the hate and personal attacks for some other sites that enjoy that type of nonsense. |

The commenter you're responding to has only one purpose in posting here and that's to cause trouble and anger other commenters. Normally the best response is no response to starve him of the attention he lives on - but he can also be used as the bad example with which to juxtapose a good example. In other words weaponize his idiocy as an opportunity to broach an opinion you wish to make. In the case of his idiot comment on Korchinski - use the occasion to sing the praises of the highly regarded prospect which is always fun to do and even more so in a season where talking about the Hawks is not so fun. |

Good point brought up in the article. He turns 19 in June. Do the Hawks bring him in next season, either here or Rockford, Or let him go back to Seattle and dominate there again and another JR Gold for Canada? Same goes for Allan as they're teammates there. Build that future pairing without pressure. without seeing much of either one of them this season in the "W", i'd say send korchinski back to seattle without a moment's hesitation. no need to rush him. allan will be 20 next month. rockford should be his next team imho. Agree, Korchinski was rated as a bit of a high risk where he was picked. Let him dominate in junior, play in the WJC and especially continue to hone his defensive skills to match his unquestioned offensive upside. No need for him to follow the Ty Smith route. No hurries. |
