Sure would be nice to see Kaner feeding him pucks on the powerplay.

A mock this afternoon on nhl.com has Hawks taking LW Andrew Cristall at 19 - allegedly a good friend of Bedard’s. And he played a couple seasons with Dach in Kelowna, he's a gritty little guy with a great shot and hands, but he's small and light, I'd rather draft Honzek, Wood, or Bonk. |

A mock this afternoon on nhl.com has Hawks taking LW Andrew Cristall at 19 - allegedly a good friend of Bedard’s. I just was reading that mock a bit ago and basically felt like it was shite, tbh. one guy has: 1) Reinbacher going after Willander and 2) the wangs passing on Reinbacher with their pick at 9 when the wangs need a RHD in a big way. both writers have the wangs taking wings as well, when their biggest needs are center and RHD. if we stay put at 19 and take Cristall there, I'll probably throw something, because we can probably get him early in the second. I absolutely don't mind us taking him in the second, but 19 is way too high, especially with some of the other players they had available there. it just felt like a lazy pick because he and Bedard are besties... |

I think he drops due to his size, or lack thereof. if we took him at 35, I'd be fine with it, but let someone else take the risk on him in the first round... |

Quentin Musty LW 6’ 200lb “lethal on the PP”.

Quentin Musty LW 6’ 200lb “lethal on the PP”. I have a feeling his skating will eliminate him from the Blackhawks prospective. |

not gonna lie, I am really hoping we can move up and snag Danielson, should he drop out of the top ten. I could see it happening should teams get crazy about getting one of the top dmen and taking them earlier than expected. we are gonna need to swap with the 'nucks (or someone ahead of them) to get him, though.
he is exactly the 2LC we need, imo.

Am trusting that Hawks mgmt have done their homework and know what they’re looking for. Like all of us I do hope they can develop a feared PP which will among other things will help minimize teams taking liberties with Bedard and others. |

in his new "what I'm hearing" article, Scott Powers said that if he had to put money on the 'hawks moving up/down/standing pat, he would bet on them standing pat. he cited the cost to move up even a few spots is likely too prohibitive. he also mentioned Adam Gagan (G) as a second round possibility.
edit: I forgot to mention that he said that Daniil But is apparently someone the 'hawks like a lot, also.

Gajan (SVK) had a veeery good tournament at WJC and raised a few eyebrows. Me personally, I'd be thrilled to have a Slovakian with the Hawks team. Will see. Actually, looking more forward to the draft rather then he'll win the cup. |

Well have started going over the EP draft guide and some mock drafts. Looks like Honzek is a good bet if Simashev is there gotta take him! I have no deisre to move up in this draft unless its cheap( none of our second rounders). I just think there will be a lot of talent left in second round. But snd Sale should be there at 19 also gonna be interesting.

But snd Sale should be there at 19 also gonna be interesting. if we could move up to 11 with Vancouver, I would be a-ok with losing a 2nd rounder to do so. I will be a little surprised if KD doesn't send a couple of those 2nds to someone for a late first, also. with as deep as the draft is, I feel like someone will drop to the bottom of the first round where he can swap a couple seconds to move up and grab another player they like. Simashev sounds like a sound d-man that could turn into a gem if he finds some offense. |

Just read an article saying the Hawks really like But after the combine and if he's there at #19 they'll probably draft him. I watched highlights of But (Boot), and he's a big guy with soft hands and a great shot, plus he's a smooth skater with good edgework. Can't wait till the 28th and see how things play out. |

Hearing the same thing But does not play a heavy game much more of a finesse player. Skating is ok, hands and stick work are very good shot very good! Think Daze maybe |

I'm all over the map with who I want the Hawks to select - every new day brings a new heartthrob. The 28th can't come soon enough - I'm getting dizzy chasing my tail, and tired.

Dmitri Simashev looks like an interesting D-man. Not much offense but does everything else well according to a couple of reports.

I know the Hawks drafted Rinzel RHD and he can be a long-term project. In the interim maybe might be a good idea with all these picks to add a few more RHD: Lukas Dragicevic-6' 1" 190 lbs. Offensive D player could be a second pair option on the power play Andrew Gibson-6' 3" 195 lbs. strong defender Maxim Strbak-6' 2" 205 lbs. Committed to play at Michigan State, strong two-way game with offense upside |

And if the Hawks drafted Dragicevic he'd be on the #1 PP, he's a sniper with a wicked onetimer, him and Korchinski would be a deadly duo on the PP. |

I agree Dragicevic and Korchinski on the PP would be fun to watch. I also like Tom Willander but do not think he will be there at #19. I know the focus is to get top end forwards in the very early rounds, but is should be interesting if a highly valued D falls will KD take him over another forward at #19. |
