Oh, I'm not arguing that Amonte's jersey should be retired, just that if I have to pick the better player between Amonte and Sharp, I would pick Amonte. However, as a fan, I'm much fonder of Sharp given his role in the cup wins. Do you think Sharp should have his number retired?
I also wouldnt be outraged or eye-roll it like I do Magnuson.
I probably wouldnt retire Sharps jersey if it were up to me. I also wouldnt be outraged or eye-roll it like I do Magnuson.
Sharp was a key top 6 player and the leading goal-scorer in 2 of the 3 cup runs.
Ultimately, over time, I think all 7 triple-cup winners will be in the rafters.

Why hasn't there ever been a #69 here? Seems like such a nice number.
14 - the legend of Billy Gardner
34 - Tony Horacek I guess?
37 - Adam Burish definitely. He was a fan favorite and he's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
43 - Wiz I guess?
44- Peluso no question
45 - (crickets)
47 - (crickets)
53 - (crickets)

58 - (crickets)
94 - Berezin
Well Bicks didn't play enough games to get his name etched in the cup in 2010, so he generally doesn't quality. But is the best 29 I know of.EIGHT triple-cup winners
Toews Kane Keith Hossa Sharp Seabrook Hjalmarsson and BICKELL
Pickle never gets the credit he deserves...

Rene BourqueWell Bicks didn't play enough games to get his name etched in the cup in 2010, so he generally doesn't quality. But is the best 29 I know of.
Did anyone wear 14 before the late retiring Chris Kunitz or is he the best for it?
I liked Bully but Bickell had more talent in his baby finger and he was a factor in at least one Cup for Hawks.You may have not seen Ted Bulley but he was what Bickell was supposed to become.

ya Amonte had tons of speed and had a good shot. Roenick could do it all both on the ice and in Sega lol. I believe he was the best player in that game (Sega 93' perhaps)I wish I was a fan back in the mid to late 90’s so I could’ve seen some of these guys play. All I know from Amonte are the posters on my cousin’s wall and when I’d play hockey video games
not bad comparison but Amonte was faster than Pasta. Amonte was one of the fastest in league if I remember, maybe Barzalish?Kessel is another fast guy, with a good shot, but doesn't have near the agility Amonte had. Amonte's skating was phenomenal, and he had some great hands. Kane is a weird comp, I agree. But at the time I wasn't sure how to describe him.
Now that I think about it, Pastrnak is probably the closest player to Amonte, in today's NHL.
well we did have Theo Fleury for a bitWell Bicks didn't play enough games to get his name etched in the cup in 2010, so he generally doesn't quality. But is the best 29 I know of.

I've said this before but Roenick was vastly underrated. IMO, he was a top-5 Blackhawk player all-time. Unfortunately, his reckless abandon playing style caught up with him and shortened his career (as a top player).ya Amonte had tons of speed and had a good shot.

JR is not, and never was, even close to top 5 Hawks all time.I've said this before but Roenick was vastly underrated. IMO, he was a top-5 Blackhawk player all-time. Unfortunately, his reckless abandon playing style caught up with him and shortened his career (as a top player).

See what I mean.
JR in his prime was better than Savard, better than Larmer, better than Amonte... better than most Hawk forwards over the years. Present-day Hawks could only dream of having the same commitment and compete in their game.
The mix for me at the top is in no particular order. Savvy, Stosh, Hull, Kane, Larmer and JR.
I could, begrudgingly, move Gramps to #6

Maybe if we're only considering forwards.
I was only comparing forwards.
When JR put up 103,107 and 107 points he outscored his nearest teammate by 24,29 and 37 points. Similar to when Kane had his 100+ point seasons.
Additionally JR was crushing people, never a minus player on the Hawks and was a speed burner. He really was that good.
