I’ve watched 2 full games this year which is 2 more full games than last year. They have been entertaining and following Bedard is fun.

bmags Posted October 12, 2023 Author Share Posted October 12, 2023 I’ve watched two partial games. Sadly, I don’t really know how to watch much more than “is the puck going toward the net or not” but getting better. Not sure I’d be able to tell you by end of year anything knowledgeable about Korchinsky unless he like scores a bunch probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what they want to do, but most likely going to send him back to his club last year since he can't go to the AHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 2 hours ago, bmags said: Why is that? As a reminder, due toe Canadian Hockey League rules, Korchinski isn't eligible to play in the American Hockey League this season, so it's either the NHL or the WHL. If he plays in more than nine games, the first year of his entry-level contract will be burned. I don't think the Blackhawks are too worried about that. In fact, they might even prefer it so he can get to his second contract quicker. The real key number to watch is 40 games. If Korchinski reaches that number, it counts as a full NHL season, which would get him to unrestricted free agency a year quicker than if he didn't (one of the ways a player can become a UFA is by accruing seven full seasons). I would be surprised if he surpassed that total. My prediction is that Korchinski will play somewhere between 10 and 39 games before he's eventually sent back to the WHL. He's almost a lock to make Team Canada's roster for the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship and will likely play a significant role. https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/nhl/chicago-blackhawks/kevin-korchinski-made-opening-night-roster-but-is-his-spot-with-blackhawks-permanent/512565/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s who the Hawks want him to be, they’ll want that extra year of control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 This was already in the 2021 report with this player so not exactly new info. The player is just deciding now to come out.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 2 minutes ago, SoxAce said: His second goal... He's the real deal and a marked man. Hawks are going to need more offensive firepower fast. If they just had a decent powerplay and a couple more speed offensive guys (talented with the puck , good passers) they could be a playoff team right now. Can't have Foligno and Perry as stables of the PP. They are too slow. They're fine if you can get the PP set up but the Hawks just don't have the offensive talent to use them in front of the net. I love me Foligno and Perry and they have important roles to play in guiding the young guys. Until then Bedard is taking too many hard hits and will be injured soon if they don't accelerate the rebuild to surround him with better talent.

He's 18 and the most hyped prospect since McDavid, and in fact I think because he's in Chicago, they've been hyping him more than even McDavid got. The rebuild is right on schedule. It's no secret they need more firepower. It will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
