One problem. They don't have their Keith.

They'll be a solid team next year but the team D is still bad.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Again, the Hawks have lost tier 3 & 4 guys who are just guys who are interchangable. Except for Saad. But dont be surprised if he isnt quite as good on the jackets without the Hawks great players around him...and dont be surprised if he doesnt score 20 goals. Sharp? Eh...he was bad this year.

I am looking forward to somewhat of a youth movement on the Hawks next year and Q having to play more youngsters. This team will be very very good again.

Good point, but IMO there is another problem. Those 2 guys are nice players, but they are not in Toews and Kanes league.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Benn and Seguin will outscore Toews and Kane next year with ease. The Stars will have a worse record, though. Still no reliable defense or goaltending.
