A few draft simulators has Chicago picking #4, and they all say Lindstrom. One scout was from EliteProspects.
2-3 were all different, just like most scouts having so many different scenarios from 2-10, who ever Chicago takes they're getting an impact player. So trading down to 7 makes sense.

Next big day for some of these guys is the draft. Wonder who improved their profile and who slipped. Congrats to Canada though.

I think at this point Lindstrom fills a lot of needs. Parekh wouldn’t bother me either. I feel both would give a massive benefit to the Hawks and their needs!!!

I feel both would give a massive benefit to the Hawks and their needs!!! if we move down from 2-4 and take him a little later, I wouldn't hate taking a shot with him. right now if feels like taking him in the top 4 might be a reach with his recent injury history. feels like they'll take more of a sure thing with the first pick if they don't trade down.

In the gold medal game today Greentree played roughly 4 and a half minutes, Beaudoin again led the Canadian forwards in minutes, over 20. Sounds like the coach relied on him in all situations. Probably a riser though both he and Greentree were 2-2 for 4 points in the tournament.

I dunno if we need them bad enough to make them a top 20 pick, though. I could see us moving 34 and one of the later seconds to move up a few spots at the end of the first to take a player like that, though.

useless factoid....
dad's full name is Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tij Junior Elvis Iginla and to the best of my knowledge, the son's full name is Tij Iginla.

Iginla had a good tournament and great game today. That will surely solidify his draft position if he doesn't actually rise.

So trading down to 7 makes sense. I'd like to see them take Lindstrom with the 4th pick, and trade up for the 7th pick with our 19th/20th pick, our 32nd pick and a prospect or two from our large collection of LD kids (we choose which) If that isn't enough, throw in Murphy or a later 3rd or 4th round pick. And grab Zayne Parekh with the 7th pick. Hope that's understandable, lol.

But I doubt Ottawa will trade down out of the top 10. Last year most of us expected to be picking 4th, it'll probably happen this year. If Lindstrom is there they better take him. He'd be great with Bedard, or the 2C.

For example. Look at the teams there. Habs, BJs, Ottawa, Arizona, Seattle, Calgary. I really don’t see any of them doing something like that. I believe the Hawks best bet is to move down and add to their roster. The best trade scenario I see is a team parked around 10-13 may move down to add more picks. So the Hawks go from 20 to 10!!!

That is where to scouting and personnel staffs earn their stripes - figuring out the grades/tiers of players to determine how much a player available at 10 is better than a player available at 20 and is it worth it to move up. Much easier to grade and hit on a top-10 player than a 11-20 player.

trade down a bit, add another second. then trade two seconds to move back into the late first.
or draft Celebrini. then trade two seconds to move into the late first.
either of these works for me.

I do like those scenarios. Let’s say the Hawks get 2 or 3. A lot of teams may have the same thoughts we do. And not looking to move up much if at all. The reason why the Sens make sense is simply because they have 5-6 good centers and can’t pay them all. So the Hawks have nothing on the roster to trade, so why not see if they’re willing to move up. Levshunov I think would be of interest to them. But he may be of interest to the Hawks. The problem is with Seth around for 6 more years. And having Rinzel in the works. A right shot D may not be of the highest importance with this high of a pick. A couple years back. Absolutely. I just don’t know if I see the most in this pick. Unless it is #1!!!

That's why it'd be tough not taking him with the #2 pick, he's a special player. And he's 5'11" 180lbs, small but not tiny. couldn't play Bedard and him together. They both look like they need the puck all the time. But add a couple of good talents with some size and those two would anchor two pretty good lines. A team can never have too many talented scorers. Any competent coach can find a way to get them on the same line and Connor doesn't strike me as an egomaniac who'll put himself over the team. I would gladly take this dilemma if it comes to it.

The one thing about Lindstrom is he will need at least a year, maybe two. Dach was injured his draft year in Jrs. He didn’t have the most games under his belt. He would a been soooo much better back in Jrs. Same goes for Lindstrom. Can’t just say he’s big enough and can handle it. Mentally he’ll need more time.
He’s a kid that’ll probably play for team Canada at next years WJC. In the long run it’ll be a great pick. KD and co aren’t rushing kids.
With that said, he’d more than likely be my guy.
I still feel Parekh is that kid that’ll be unreal. And a lot of teams will pass on him. He’s just a scoring machine. He’s like Makar or Q Hughes. I think he’ll be that good too!!!

Dach played 62 regular season games and 10 playoff games his draft season, he wasn't injured till the prospects tournament when he was boarded behind the net. That's why he started in Rockford his first season, but just like his career, they rushed him and didn't let him play the max allowable games in the AHL for conditioning. If Chicago gets Lindstrom, I doubt they'll rush him and let him play another year in juniors.

If Chicago gets Lindstrom, I doubt they'll rush him and let him play another year in juniors. The problem with Dach is he never played a full season of Jrs and only amassed 133 games over 3 years. They play 68 per year. So he definitely wasn’t polished. I just hope we don’t see that again. I also hope Dach can overcome his injuries and be the player he could be. I think his injuries are mostly from lack of confidence out there!!!

To me if there is #1 D in this draft you have to take him. You never have enough good D and #1 are hard to find. Look what the previous GM did he had to trade for one.

My concern is do they ever get a chance here? Seth isn’t gonna settle for a #4-5 role. I just think 🤔 n the next couple seasons moving Seth makes sense for both sides. Not sure if that’ll happen. Another thing to keep in mind, we haven’t seen many trades yet. Sure there was trades to dump players. But there has t been many to move forward. A good young D may be brought in at some point. Wont be able to draft them all. Maybe 50% of your roster will be draft picks. And that’s actually a lot. Of a 23 man roster, if you draft 11 players. That’s huge. I’d like to see another good forward brought in. Maybe we don’t have to worry about that, if #1 is the Hawks!!!

I have to think that if the Hawks absolutely lose the lotto, it does seem fishy. I’m not mad, it just seems there’s always something dramatic with this. It’s not so much about the Hawks losing. It’s just that if they lose. Someone behind them really wins. It would be nice for the Hawks to hold court and stay where they are!!!

I think his injuries are mostly from lack of confidence out there!!! You said Dach was injured his draft year in juniors, but he barely missed any games, missing 6 regular season games isn't significant, plus he played in the playoffs. We've talked about this a lot, of course he should've went back to juniors for one more year, but his injuries weren't for a lack of confidence, it was lack of awareness. He was the most hit player his rookie year, and he missed most of this season because he was caught by Tinordi with a huge hit, if he can't see or get around Tinordi he's not aware on the ice.

I'd rather have a shot at Hagen or McKenna in the next two lottery drawings (if we are participating in those drawings) than getting to pick someone besides Celebrini this draft.
