Hawks have signed big Regula to a 3yr ELC. Haven't really seen enough of him but I have high hopes for this kid 6'4" 205. Played with Boqvist and played for Chicago Steel and won the Clark Cup there. So... Fingers Crossed on this one. |

I'd rather have Koek sittin' than Boqvist but that means he goes back down......right? NOT trading Gus this summer is a brain hemorrhage decision IMO! |

NOT trading Gus this summer is a brain hemorrhage decision IMO! I'd play Boqvist full time and let Koekkoek fill in if needed, injury or back to back game, so resting someone like Seabs. |

Other teams got know SB won't be able to afford him with all the albatross contracts this team has. Not to mention the young D in the pipeline. |

I'd like to see a starting six go with regularity which means what? Gus not only should have been traded he HAD to be traded! |

Crawford will be gone next year,besides Seabs who are the albatrosses'......you pay great players or you don't have great players. If SB is cornered,he cornered himself,Gus had to go during FA fenzy this summer,some GM coulda went before his media and said "look....I got us a 60pt D-man". The league figured Gus out on the PP and he gets more exposed defensively with every game...….THE FO SHOULDA SEEN THIS COMING! |

Someone has to go down, waived, traded or they go over the cap when Murph returns. |

Boqvist should and will be sent down, imo. until Gus is moved, he may as well get lots of minutes in the Rock and save that ELC year.

Whatever the move is it has to be made by the weekend I guess.
The realistic move is send Bo down and let him refine his game.
Him and Gilbert are the 2 guys they call up when needed for D.
If a trade happens between now and deadline, great.
And at end of season you don't resign Koekoek, Gus traded for picks,
Then Bo and Gilly come up.

Sending Boqvist down would be an organizational failure just like moving Joker was and just like sending Dach down would be. This team needs to develop D-men and Centers at the NHL level and they need to do so starting yesterday,Q inherently knew this last fall when the Joker made the lineup and Boqvist just missed.
More seasoning? We have a bunch of young D-men at Rockford and in other developmental leagues gettin'seasoned,it's about time the top D prospects start paying dividends with the big club. Joker was a right shot and was also ready to start paying that dividend before he was moved.
Boqvist isn't only a better skater than Gus,he makes fewer glaring errors too and he's still 19 for God's sake.....he also balances out the R/L make up.
I don't think anyone sees this team as more than MAYBE a run at the last spot if things gel and if that's the case,get these kids in there and get em more minutes than they've been getting. There's as good a chance of gelling with Boqvist and Dach playing bigger roles as there is if they don't IMO.
Keith and Seabs games are aging along with their bodies,Maata and de Haan are fairly redundant stay at home,lefties and Murph has had problems staying healthy.....replacing any of these D-men has to come from within.....period!

Very sound post. That's why on the BHB I voiced my "WTF" comments when they went and got de Haan, Maatta and traded Jokiharu and kept Gus. When they had a surplus of youth needing to be here for a true youth movement. I don't think this team is PO ready and probably won't get past 5 games in the 1st round. At least not the way it's constructed right now. Maybe things will change in a month or so, we will see. |

I'm not sure sending the young D-man down is realistic at all T-man,sure it probably happens if that's what you mean due to numbers but he needs to refine his game in the NHL IMO. I trust him more right now than I do Gus or Koek and he only gets better with his natural abilities. Keeping Gus means you continue to SADDLE your oldest D-man with him as a partner and Gus is playing his off side on top of it...….this is why you ALWAYS see Gus playing the game on his backhand and nobody's better on their backhand. |

Believe me I don't want him sent down either. Nor did I want Gilbert sent down. Like you said, they need to be seasoned on the NHL level NOW. Let them make their mistakes here and now and learn from them fast. |

I don't understand why Keith is on the 1st PP unit with his turnovers, shots blocked, and terrible passes that usually kill any momentum they had.
The first time Boqvist was on the PP he scored a beautiful goal less than 20secs in. It's been so long I don't remember Keith scoring or contributing to the PP.
Yet they'll probably send down the skilled 19yr old righty while Gus and Koekkoek waste roster spots.
The 3 righties should all play, Boqvist, Murphy, and Seabs, in that order.
It's really frustrating how a 19yr old makes a mistake and he's moved to the 3rd pair, healthy scratch one game, and rarely sees the PP when Gus has horrible turnovers and pair him with another small lefty in Keith who's also bad at giving the puck away.

I have to think JC was proud of Gus' PP performance and his decision to put him there last year and rightly so,that being said...…..JC has to see what we see in order to put Keith back in the #1 point position. The league figured Gus' PP smokescreen out IMO and Kane,D-Cat and Toews all having big PP years helped lead to that smokescreen. He now contributes little PP offense and his point play has led to many odd-man breaks or shorthanded break aways…..it's like having no D-man on the PP. Yes,Keith's inability to get shots through makes him less than ideal also...…..I agree with Boqvist getting the #1 PP opportunity but it looks like it'll be in Rockford unless Gus is moved. There's just no room at the inn for Gus and the sooner the FO realizes it the better! |
