    Default Hawks' forward lines after trade

    How will the Blackhawks' forward lines look next year? They broke up their Kane-Panarin-Anisimov line, and if Saad lines up with Toews (as I believe he will), Panarin's spot it open. Who gets it?
    I guess it goes like this:
    Toews-Saad-Panik
    Kane-Anisimov-Schmaltz

    Kane will need a potential dynamic offensive player to play with, so if Saad is playing with Toews, I think Nick Schmaltz gets a huge raise in his value, as he's Chicago's most dynamic young player. I know Quenneville likes to shake up his lines a lot, but the Kane-Paranin-Anisimov line stayed together for two years, so if they find chemistry with someone else, no reason to think it won't stay as well.

    GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.

    I can see those lines making sense. John Hayden may be up there too as a banger for the right side of Kane's line but he could also end up being on that 3rd line too.

    I think hayden spent some time on Toews' line late last year. Maybe he'll get some time there when they take Panik off the line (only to inevitable and inexplicably put him back there!).

    GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.

    Q has said already he plans to play Schmaltz with Kane and Saad with Toews so these lines make sense. Schmaltz played very well with Toews and Panik for a stretch last season too so if things aren't going well, Q will surely shuffle his lines.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    This is all assuming Coach Q even returns next year, if the rumors are true.....

    As a Schmaltz owner this would be great! I think Debrincat will take at least 1 year in the AHL though

    Issue with Q is that he's not reliable when it comes to young guys ice time... I think those lines are going to be in a blender all year...

    I guess it goes like this:
    Toews-Saad-Panik
    Kane-Anisimov-Schmaltz
    this looks pretty good to me figure the Hawks will stick w/ 2 duos and figure the 3rd part on the go, duos being Anisomov/Kane, & Saad/Toews. Panik saw success w/ Toews last season so it's only right that he'll start there, w/ cap issues I wouldn't be surprised to see DeBrincat if not for a terrible preseason start beside Ansiomov/Kane but Schmaltz/Hartman are my other options
