An unpleasant, but I guess obligated press conference after moving Taylor Hall out.
It’s (still) all about the future at this stage.
It’s Bedard and the young guys.
And that is the part of the fan base who still actually cares.
I was glad to see Kyle say he thought this group would be better.
It’s been a miserable year.
I am frustrated as a fan, but I wouldn’t put much of that on Kyle.
The building is flat with bad crowds.
Kyle is still executing his plan.
That’s how this has to end for the rebuild to be a success.
Can’t really evaluate this group for probably another 2 years.
I hope Davidson has enough job security to be given that chance.
I get the attention he gets.
Hes a high profile player coming into the league people pick every word apart way too much.
Hes a competitive player that doesnt like to lose.
They all have it.
His words get taken much further than everyone else and everythings read into a little bit more.
I think hes playing really, really well.
Hes skating really well.
Bedard has been undeniably better and more confident under the new coaching staff.
He’s going to be a 100 point guy some day.
That’s a tall ask for any player.
They’re exceptionally rare.
Most guys in the Hall of Fame aren’t that guy.
Bedard is tracking towards that all-star pop in.
Weve got a lot of assets.
Now they have to keep doing that."
It’s great to have prospects, it’s better to have bonafide stars.
The old “one in the hand vs two in the bush”.
I think the foundation of this team being built on the blue line is a good thing.
Big, mobile, dmen will play.
This is where the patience in necessary even if it’s annoying.
It takes dmen forever.
The old cliche is like 200 pro games.
We saw that play out in our face with Vlasic.
Lardis is absolutely pumping in goals in the OHL.
I bet Canada wishes they selected him for the WJC.
He seems like a guy with a skill set who would pair nicely with Bedard.
He, like almost every Blackhawks prospect, is on the smaller side, but his production is undeniable.
The Blackhawks need goals.
Hopefully his talent can translate to the NHL.
Boisvert is off to a great start in college.
Greene and Moore should sign at the end of their seasons.
How nice would Dylan Holloway look as a piece for the future?
There’s a lot of talk about Rantanen and Mitch Marner becoming UFAs.
If that does happen I hope Kyle swoops in an gives Matthew Knies an offer sheet.
He is the exact profile of a player the Blackhawks are missing.
Power forwards who can pump in 25-30 goals don’t grow on trees.
If Toronto is in a tough spot, Davidson has to take advantage.
The Blackhawks need legit NHL players and soon.
They’ve had a ton of picks.
They’ve got more high picks coming.
you’ve got the option to’t be a loser forever.
They need to start being aggressive.
I really like Davidson.
I find him to be honest.
He seems humble, which I think is an important trait in a GM.
you’re gonna wanna be able to humble to evaluate yourself and mistakes you’ve made.
