I agree Wiz, the Blackhawks just didn’t have the assets before and now not only do they have draft capital but they have young promising players everywhere.
I don’t think anything is going to give this season but during the next season or after i can see the Blackhawks trading the 2 first round draft picks(Panthers and Oilers) just like the Canadiens did for a premium young player
I appreciate KDs patience, i loved that he was able to get a first and Knight for Seth Jones, man i thought that pick was unprotected and so disappointed to find out it was.
I want more than Matthew Knies.
Sure would love a Cutter Gauthier for #4
Not the other Arizonian A Matthews, or Martin Necas.
That 4th pick is where you can develop a player into a star.
Years to develop, but long term value for the Chicago franchise.
You giving me Dylan Guethner? Veteran Brandon Hagel?
Or Loagn Cooley?
But I think where an opportunity will present itself is when the hawks management find a team that is trading away a kid who they don’t have the druthers to pay in their next contract. Teams look at the Chicago young defense and surplus of depth vets and may come lookng for surplus for a big up n comer.
is that guy the big Byfield.Draft Carson Carels, left shot, tough, strong defensively and he’s shown he’s strong offensively this past season. He’s been compared to Makar and Werenski, which may be more hopeful than real.
And i know everyone is so concerned about drafting a forward, the Blackhawks are actually in a great position to draft best available.
Let the draft unfold and either you’ll have a really good forward on the board or a really really good defenseman.
I’m convinced San Jose will draft by need, they will draft the best dman off the board.
Yes sir, 11 young players already, now a wave of more players, this is shaping up so much how the OKC Thunder rebuilt their team.
As the young inner competition brews it’s just going to make this team better
Maybe we get a young unhappy Russian as a teammate for Roman, if Mikheyev moves on.
BEFORE the Hawks UNLOAD any major league roster deadweight, you are adding Vanacker already in place until 2028 contract, Spellacy’s deal also to 2028, and big
decisions to made in regards to what thay’ve got in
Centre Savoie, W Misiak, W Gavin Hayes, Centre Felcman, and some time before decisions need making on
W Jack Pridman
W John Mustard
C Joel Svennsson
W Nathan Behn
F Mason West
Vaclav Nestrail will arrive and have to loose a roster spot. He was second in scoring with his UMass college will be more than ready in a year.Malhotra will be gone.
He’s a perfect 2nd line centre prototype, for Vancouver to start the rebuild…I would bet they this crop of potential NHL defenseman as a nice consolation, and I would be very surprised if l’il brother Evar Stenberg gets selected and arrives earlier than most picks and thinking he with the current Canuck forwards can truly bring their attack together.
It wouldn’t be surprising that the blues probably would love to come out of the drafts first night with one of those mailmen defenseman, Stenberg and would trade first rounders from their three to get up to do just that.
One last note, I’m not naive enough to think all these draft picks hit, but let’s look at the draft history so far they have so many kids coming up.
One of the things this franchise is building is inner competition. Not only do they have it in the NHL level they have it at the Rock.
I’ll never get caught up in center or wing position because they drafted so many centers. Watching the young teams in the playoffs no matter how big they are is youth that hurts them more than anything else.
My guess is in 2 to 3 years since the salary cap is going up the Blackhawks will be in a great position to trade young players they feel that don’t quite fit their team or because they are being pushed out by more talent behind them.
Oh just throwing this out there, aren’t the Blackhawks in great position to trade for McDavid if that’s what he wants?
If Lardis gets better at his defense and understanding where he’s gotta be in the dzone he’s going to have a very nice career in the NHL.
Greene plays a full season and is just a solid solid hockey player.
Boisvert hurt his shoulder and never was the same hockey player this past season, he and Bedard can both rehab their shoulders in the offseason….
And as I’ve said before i can’t wait for these kids to turn into men and that’ll be happening very very soon.
Wiz you are really down on Arty? He definitely was no Schaefer but those guys are rare breeds.
I thought Arty played well relatively speaking for a rookie and supporting cast.
I will always feel this way, at number 4 draft best available with the most upside. Trades can be made later when you are in a playoff position, and i think they are real close to competing for a playoff spot.
I’m watching the Cubs and when you keep drafting and trading for young talent, the talent no matter what their shape and sizes are greater than retread and role players in any sport.
I know Boisvert isn’t on anyones radar even though he was injured last season and was playing through injury.
Just keep drafting these kids and build this monster
