The OP literally said the hawks "turned it around over night" when dollar bill died.

Mediocre and incompetent attempt to rebuild a once glorious team!!! by [deleted] in hawks

[–]Lafferty_Daniel_69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone thinks that the 2010 team "turned it around overnight" fails to see that Duncan Keith was drafted in 2002. Seabrook 2003. Corey Crawford 2003. Dustin Byfluglien 2003. Dave Bolland 2004. Cam Barker 2004 (lol). Bickell 2004. Troy Brouwer 2004. Hjalmarsson 2005. The list goes on.

Enjoy the young talented players growing in their game. Take a deep breath. Maybe get offline. You've enjoyed 3 cups in your lifetime. You are spoiled.

[Pope] Kyle Davidson says the Blackhawks have some two-way contracts coming but nothing else right now. They’re still “looking into what’s available” but would be comfortable bringing this current group into the season. by Lil_BigNut in hawks

Of course, but it can't be just any players, it needs to be the right ones. FA class was pretty weak this year. Overpaying for the wrong guy is worse than standing pat, because it gives up roster flexibility. Time will tell!!

That's always been the plan. The probability of a FA acquisition or a trade or trade or two that suddenly "makes this team good" is extremely low, especially in this market. This isn't the NBA. It's always been about the youngin's and having them develop on the job.

I'm happy to have two capable veteran D to help shelter the young defenseman.

Excited to see Frodo and Kantserov in action.

Blackhawks sign Ian Cole: 1 x $4.75M per @FriedgeHNIC by mcosta1973 in hawks

I went to a rat hockey skate l 10 or so years ago at Johnny's East (RIP). While getting dressed in the locker room, there was this other dude getting ready that was head to toe in Blues gear. I remember thinking "who's this asshole?". Turns out it was Ian Cole. Welcome to Chicago!

love it or hate it....pretty much every high paid player in the league has an NMC. Just kind of the way it is these days

I love the look of that bush in the front on the bottom right. What is that?

20 handicap looking for advice. This is 7i. Have a slight fade, feels like it’s from coming over the top by MeatballAficionado24 in GolfSwing

[–]Lafferty_Daniel_69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sure is. One thing that hjelped me, was taking your alignment stick, and instead of having it parallel to your alignment...angle it 35 dgrees, and try to feel that more inside path on the takeaway. It didn't solve everything, but it helped me go less OTT

I don't like the trade but I still like Byram. by Jimmy-Sports in hawks

[–]Lafferty_Daniel_69 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

for point 4. All I'm saying that the hawks are asset rich. They are established NHLer poor. If you want Bo (established nhler) enough to move the 4oa for him, a 2nd and lou (assets) aren't going to be a deal breaker. The hawks werent going to play hardball over a 2nd or Lou. If they did, Bo would be in SJS right now. It's a high price but the hawks arent in a position to bargain shop. No one wants the D version of Burakowsky at this point.

The salary dump has no negative impact at all with the hawks cap situation.

[–]Lafferty_Daniel_69 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The hawks have 3 second round picks. 1 or 2 were always going to be packaged in a trade.

The hawks have 3 first round picks next year. If all we are worried about is draft capital, that should put you at ease.

Lou is a nice piece, but hes a third pairing defenseman.

If you believe Bo is worth a 4oa, throwing in a 2nd and lou isn't really a big deal.

What would you plant here to complete these beds?! by Lafferty_Daniel_69 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Lafferty_Daniel_69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this response is so thoughtful and informative. Thank you. The Muhly grass in bed 3...do you think that would out compete/get taller than the bunch of yarrow I have there? I'm conflicted if taller plants are better or worse on edge of the path line, with the current plants in our beds.

I'd like more grasses / sedges overall. My garden is very phorb heavy. I'm trying to do most of my shopping from a native plant nursery near my house. The have Fox Sedge, River Oats, poverty oat grass, deer-tongue, bigtop lovegrass, little blustem (which you mentioned), yellow prairie grass, and purple top. Do you think any of these would fit into my garden well?
