[QUOTE="Illiniaaron, post: 1308482, member: 29101"] I'm a little surprised at the free pass Quenville is getting after the Hawks have been eliminated in the first round now two years in a row, and this time embarrassingly so. I see they fired Mike Kitchen today. Wow, that will make a big difference. The Hawks in general have had poor special teams ever since Q has been there. How a group this talented has never been able to get a good power play started is beyond me. Obviously beyond Quenville as well. The Hawks are paying now for the Cups they have won in the past. They have overpaid some of the veteran core group to keep them around (Seabrook is the most egregious). However, you are also paying Toews $13.8 million a year for about 25 goals and 65 points a year. More than Crosby. More than Ovechkin. You can at least argue that Kane has produced at a level that warrants his $13.8 million. Unfortunately, I don't think Bowman has a lot of wiggle room to change much considering how much of the cap is devoted to 6-7 players all with no-trade clauses. [/QUOTE]
