Scott Laughlin: “Dave, additional on down the standings, simply speaking about Chicago by means of comparability to San Jose. Regardless that the Hawks are simply 4 factors higher than San Jose, the Sharks are most likely feeling higher about themselves when it comes to seeing younger gamers make that development this season than the Hawks are proper. Like, Chicago is 4 factors higher, however not feeling the identical about what they’ve achieved this season. Like possibly a younger staff like San Jose is feeling although they obtained eradicated on the weekend.
I simply marvel what your ideas are on the Hawks and the place they go as seasons finish. We all know that Anders Sörensen was introduced on because the interim head coach, and I imply, I believe the proof is within the pudding, proper? The teaching change didn’t work. Luke Richardson arguably ought to nonetheless be the top coach of the staff, as a result of they haven’t been a lot better beneath Anders Sörensen.
Like for me Dave, like, why not open up the checkbook and go after a man like David Carle and attempt to carry him in and construct with this staff for years to return, just like the Sharks have completed with Ryan Warsofsky? What would you do? I imply, as a result of it looks like among the shine is off the Kyle Davidson run in his tenure in Chicago. I imply, first off, he type of felt like, okay, younger normal supervisor studying on the fly, items coming collectively hastily. Right here we’re a few years later, and we’ve obtained conditions like Connor Bedard getting 10-minute misconduct and back-to-back video games. What’s occurring within the Windy Metropolis?”

A few of their guys simply haven’t clicked when it comes to simply taking these subsequent steps and being a staff that’s going to be somewhat bit extra aggressive and somewhat deeper. It’s a heck of a season that Ryan Donato is having, and (Teuvo) Teravainen has put up some strong numbers as effectively, however the contributions that they haven’t actually acquired, I believe have performed an element on this staff’s lack of general success.
They definitely anticipated extra from somebody like (Tyler) Bertuzzi. (Nick) Foligno’s numbers have been first rate, however once more to not that time they wished. (Ilya) Mikheyev, identical scenario, simply from a roster building perspective, I believe they thought that the blokes that they introduced in, the veteran items that they introduced in would have extra of an affect on this membership and assist them push ahead.
I count on them definitely to be energetic this summer season, assorted each from a commerce aspect of issues but additionally inside free company. I believe they’re going to be pushing exhausting with among the huge boys which are going to hit July 1, to get on the market and type of praise Bedard and among the different younger items that they’ve obtained there. I believe this can be a staff that you just definitely see the frustration, and have seen the frustration from from Connor Bedard.

You wish to begin to go after another items to type of add to this group. I’m anticipating teaching apart, I’m simply anticipating them being very aggressive this summer season. From a roster building perspective, San Jose, somewhat bit, they obtained extra contributions from a number of the youthful items and among the vets that they introduced in, like Tyler Toffoli for instance, have positively helped, however they’re nonetheless somewhat additional again when it comes to the place their rebuild course of is.
Chicago thought they had been going to begin taking the subsequent steps. They haven’t. That’s obtained to be addressed this offseason, and I believe they’re going to be very, very aggressive.”
