Seabrook will have a bounce back year. He and Maata will be a strength.
Kubalik will find 33+ goals.
Strome will surpass his 2019 blackhawks ppg pace
Bovqist will score 15 goals.

Rask - I do always enjoy your unbridled enthusiasm for the Hawks and Bulls, and your tinkering with lines.

But back to reality, I would be shocked if any of those 4 predictions came to fruition, especially the Kubalik 33+ goals. I would be happy with 13.

It's like your prior fascination with journeymen like Bobby Portis, you do seem to significantly over-value our own players.

The Hawks are currently a marginal bottom seed playoff team and have virtually no chance at advancing in the playoffs with so many remaining holes to plug. If done correctly, the team can be a true contender once again in 3 years.

not good with predictions, if Kubalik is left on the third line, and they get 12 minutes per game, he wont get to 20 goals. But elevate him to top 6 and he could get to 30.

nah, he can get 20 on the third easy which is why eventually they will move him up. He is too perfect for either Cat or kane, and if they end up together he is too perfect for Toews with his defense. So...nah..

I would extend this dude right now with every drop of cap we can spare...

What they are doing is helping him with his english next to Kampf on the third. But with Saad and Kamp they will get shit done.

That is the prediction I am most confident about. Hoping 33-40...but 20 is gonna happen. Best shot on the team, will get 2nd team powerplay very soon and go from there.

When did this become a "hawks Homer board? Seems the Cubs and Bulls threads are fairly balanced, and the Bears as well though it's meatball-laden. But I don't see anyone outside this board that believes this roster equates to a playoff contender.

They didn't even have to expose Dahlstrom with the murphy/de haan injury situation. Sucks a little.

anyone see Marian Hossa showing up in Prague for his buddies?

Dude still looks in phenomenal shape, could probably suit up and dominate still.

They need to do one of those sign him for a dollar so he could retire a hawk then make him play. Yeah, I know two more years of a million per with a 5.2 cap hit.
