I am not shooting the messenger, but lol at most of this stuff...
and I like Powers by the way, but all he does here is literally throw out things we already know and would be common sense stuff.
-Negotiations have started on Kampf’s new deal, and he “will likely be the Blackhawks’ third- or fourth-line center - next season.” - ummm, what the hell else is he going to be here?? thanks for the revelation..
-“Everything I’ve heard is the Blackhawks are deliberating between Bowen Byram, Dylan Cozens, Kirby Dach, Alex Turcotte and Trevor Zegras for the third pick.” - thanks for listing the consensus 3rd-7th picks, God only knows who we might be thinking the team picks if not for this in depth list lol..
-“The Blackhawks haven’t completely ruled out bringing back Marcus Kruger, according to a source - did this even need to be stated?? lol..I would be shocked if he gets any other NHL offers, I could see him getting a Rockford deal like Versteeg got...
-Seems like Boqvist should play in the AHL next season, but the team is leaving the door open to send him back to - London. again, Earth shattering news, I mean those are his only 2 options if he doesn't make the NHL...
Powers does not believe the Hawks will select Byram, and believes Turcotte will be the pick. - this is the only thing here that he actually makes a guess on goes out on a limb with...that is his opinion, but many of us have been saying it is only between Byram and Turcotte and likely is a 50/50 shot either way..
