[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1669422, member: 26283"] That may be the single most bizarre thing about all this to me. He was the 11th overall pick in ‘08 and had just scored 52 goals for Spokane the season leading into this thing happening to him. Why wasn’t there significantly more concern about one of the team’s top young assets? Why didn’t the GM bring down hell fire on a coach who did this to his draft pick? (Yeah, I know Bowman wasn’t GM yet when Beach was picked, but he was assistant GM.) In subsequent years, were the Hawks’ brass sitting around wondering why things weren’t working out for this kid who’d had so much promise? I’m not saying a lesser prospect would deserve worse treatment. Just that if anyone were to be treated this callously how could it have possibly been this kid? [/QUOTE]
