Al Cimaglia and I sat down today to record a conversation on the Blackhawks tank-job and a look ahead to the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. We tried to cram a bevy of topics into this 90-minute podcast including…
-How Lukas Reichel is being used vs. How Kyle Davidson said Reichel would be played in Rockford after being sent down two weeks ago.
-Is ‘the tank’ a failure if the Blackhawks don’t land Connor Bedard?
-The talent gap between Bedard and the rest of the field is wider than we were led to believe
-What happens if Chicago picks third?
-Could Reichel be used as trade bait at the Draft?
-Blackhawks when Tyler Johnson and Seth Jones are both healthy
-Front office has put Toews and Kane in a position to be resented by the fans if not waving NMCs
-Philipp Kurashev is an arbitration-eligible RFA and Davidson has a lot of money to spend.
-Everyone is watching the same movie. It all comes down to who figures out the ending first.
-Lukas Reichel has spent a season and a half with Anders Sorensen and he’s still not ready. Is Sorensen the right coach for that responsibility in Rockford?
-What 10 years of development coach Yanic Perreault gets you, or doesn’t
-Montreal edition Kirby Dach
-Should we really feel sorry for Bruce Boudreau?
-Soon a whole lot more tankin’ going on
-A little more on IceHogs PxP voice and media director Joey Z being fired by the Blackhawks a month into this season
