Blackhawks Send 3 To Rockford
After their “big” win against Montreal on Thursday night, the Hawks made a few roster moves.
Nicolas Beaudin, Ian Mitchell and Josiah Slavin were moved from the taxi squad to Rockford. With the IceHogs playing Friday and Saturday, all three should get game action, which they need.
Sure have been a lot of Hawks doing the “I-90 Shuffle” lately.
Leaves 13 F, last nights lineup and Connelly, with last nights 6d for now. Get those giys as you said some ice time in Rfd. this weekend. Have to decide who goes to Seattle after Staurdays game.
Who goes to Seattle should be interesting because I don’t think Dach and Strome will be available yet – so does Reichel go?
I could see any of these three get traded as sweetener at the TDL. I wish Coach Clown King would just let Mitchell play big minutes, and give Beaudin a chance to see if he’s better than the jockey!
Beaudin is still showing on the team roster. I hope he gets real playing time and Gustafsson is in the press box. Having S. Jones in covid protocols is a big hit to the defense. Murphy, C. Jones, Stillman, de Haan, Beaudin, Galvas. I know it’s heavy in rookies, but let’s see what they have.
Murphy-Galvas
de Haan-Beaudin
C. Jones-Stillman
We know what Gustafsson brings…nothing. Get the kids in there. If the team site is mistaken and Beaudin is in Rockford then I guess there’s no choice. How pathetic is it that the least effective defenseman, in name only, is there over highly touted players like Beaudin, Mitchell, Kalynuk, and Regula. If the organ-I-zation still thinks they are going to the playoffs then they are delusional. It’s time to start showcasing players for other teams so they can trade for prospects and draft picks.
Beaudin played for Rfd. ladt night.
Mitchell recalled, Connelly in covid protocol. Same top 6 in practice as last game. Lafferty between Borgstrom and Kurashev, with Carpenter between Khaira and Entwistle. Mitchell practicing as 7th D.
Generally Gus is going to play ahead of Mitchell and Carp ahead of Slavin to protect their trade value – it’s not about some fantasy push for the playoffs it’s about getting something in return at TDL
If the Hawks didn’t play them and end up with less or nothing at TDL we’d all be criticizing the GM for wasting assets when he should be accumulating the most and highest draft picks he can
Mitchell Slavin and others will get their turn – patience
Wrap is right. You gotta play them to get something for them. deHaan helping us out with his play to possibly get a #2 or #1. If Colorado or Edmonton coming calling for MAF a #1 is a must. Maybe KiD gm can pit them against each other to drive up the return. Mention that the other team came asking for him. Like Lynch said to Pace about Trubisky.
