QUESTION OF THE DAY -- Who Do YOU Think Will Be Connor Bedard's Future Linemates When The Blackhawks Are Contenders Again?

[@Mark1958-wwjd]

Better to just take it a season at a time. Right now all the Hawks have are prospects or hopes for the future. There is no Celebrini or Demidov, so we will have to wait and see how things play out. Hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised.

[@NorthernWarriorHockey]

Make sure the Hawks draft Porter Martone in the 2025 draft. 6'3" right wing with power and speed. Perfect linemate for 98!

[@bradscialabba1055]

I believe we can put together a good 1st line and a good 3rd line but a 2nd line is going to be a problem. Nazar would help a 2nd line but he will most likely be in Rockford and Rychal is a wild card. No 2nd line center but that was a problem when we were great

[@Mark1958-wwjd]

I would rather wait until we are 3/4 of the way through training camp to begin desifering how the lines should be deployed. I am guessing they try reuniting Hall and Bedard and add Bertuzzi to stand in front of the net and get pucks etc. If that happens, I would like to see AA, Teuvo and Kersh on the second line, Dickinson, Reichel and Mikheyev on the 3rd line and finally Donato, Folgino and Anderson on the 4th line. That leaves out Maroon and Smith.with Slaggert and Nazar in the AHL. Bottomo six will take time to sort out. Guys will be earning spots during training camp.

[@Mark1958-wwjd]

I also think the Hawks are goiing to try and get a winning culture going in Rockford such that they win the championship.

[@bradscialabba1055]

Most likely a player like Sharp , we traded Matt Ellison for him. Flyers had extra forwards , and he wasn't developing fast enough. Came to the Hawks when they were bad and he got plenty of ice time. We will see

[@dparis2172]

If my memory serves me correctly, I think Hossa’s first game with the Blackhawks was a Blackout Wednesday night game win at San Jose. Good times.

[@LockedOnBlackhawks]

Man I'll never forget that two goal game! Was a little young for me to remember it as a Blackout Wednesday lmao

[@phhdvm]

at least one who isn't on the team yet, maybe both.

[@LockedOnBlackhawks]

I'm thinking the same way

[@mikeporten8174]

I wish we would have thrown away all 3 of our second rounders this draft. Those were 3 relatively high picks and definitely a quality future NHL player would have been available there.

[@the.wayne.b]

hall, bert, teuvo. bert is exactly the type of player that could help him score, hall proved his worth in boston before that injury. i'd try those two first.

[@user-bl4ex2ep4y]

All due respect this is absolutely a bottom 10 team and probably bottom 5. You have to look at the others teams in the league and see even with improvement this team has less talent then anyone beside san jose IMO. that's not a bad thing though we need more high-end talent. to be ready to compete. 26-27 is when we make the push imo.

[@jackpercy1485]

This roster is absolutely better than teams like Columbus, Calgary, and probably even St Louis, among others

[@user-bl4ex2ep4y]

@@jackpercy1485 Idk Columbus will have a healthy fantili, gaudreau,marhcenko,silinger kent johnson with more ice time plus they added monahan whos as good as our signings. They are have werenski on the backend along with jiricek getting time. Calgary still has weegar kadri huberdeau kuzmenko coleman backland Anderson and sharangovich. Plus they have zry and corato who will take steps. St Louis is way better IMO we don't have thomas kyrou buchnevich level players plus the rest of there depth and goaltending. Our roster needs needs more established talent to compete.

[@isurrender3640]

@@user-bl4ex2ep4yMonahan is not better than Teravainen dude

[@user-bl4ex2ep4y]

@@isurrender3640 Idk both good players but monahan put up better numbers last year with worse teammates and plays a pure center role. I'd say they are equalish though.

[@LockedOnBlackhawks]

Hey, that's what we play the games for! We'll see in April.

[@bradscialabba1055]

Not on the roster , most likely

[@thebeaverqueen2096]

NOT DEMIDOV THATS FOR SURE 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tomslick2058]

Demitov or Ignila. Er in another universe. Stupid Hawks.
