Makes you realize just how good Crawford and Lehner played last year in Chicago; their numbers were gravity-defying
@Daydream, I'm a big Connor Murphy fan but that's only from a stats perspective and I don't watch much of the Hawks. Is he considered a top-4 d-man, not just by default but as a guy to build around?

To me it's Delia and TBD, likely Subban. I feel that Subban has more or less proven he's not a NHL starter. He might be a NHL backup, but his next above-average season will be his first, and that includes all his one game seasons.

Delia is much more unproven, but his NHL performance has been roughly equal to Subban's best season.

Before the injuries in 2018 hit, Crawford's elite play was making up for the leaky Hawks D for several seasons. Some, including Dobber, used to promote this thought that the Hawks were propping up Crawford when it was just the other way around. Sure, early in Crawford's career he benefited from puck-possession monster Hawks but that changed around the time of their last Cup and definitely through the 2016 to 2018 seasons. Many metrics back that up but that is a discussion for a different day.
In terms of Murphy, he is a solid, 2nd-pairing defensive, defensemen. He doesn't shoot much or skate the puck into the zone but he is good for the grit stats. He isn't someone to build your D around but he is definitely a solid dman. He has had back problems so that is a concern.
And to respond to Hawkdog, I agree with EB that Delia is probably the starter.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Hard first night at the office. That's a tough team to face out of the gate for a team with so much uncertainty around it. Felt for the Hawks in this one.

Any more speculation from Chicago-ans about the mystery Jon Toews illness?
LTIR... damn. That's 24 days minimum.

Honestly I'm worried for him and I do hope he's gonna be ok. Maybe it's a heart thing, like seems to affect many hockey players.

Depression? Mono? Lyme disease? Brutal that it doesn't seem to be diagnosed yet. Hope it gets figured out and he comes back before the season is done. Great, great player.

Philipp Kurashev is one of the most pleasant rookie surprises of the year, can he possibly stay in the Top-6 role when Chicago roster will eventually get healthier?
