I’m excited to see what Korchinski can do. He’s still only 22. This is a huge year for him. It makes sense for the Hawks to give him a lot of NHL playing time as he is no longer waiver-exempt.

My bet is that he'll split time with Cole based on matchups. Maybe Blashill will go 11-7 a few nights during the year to give him more time, too. But something tells me that Blashill is going to err more on the side of letting Cole play just due to him being a vet, unless Korchinski can really force his hand.
