2023 NHL Draft situation

[Sinbad]

looking at who we are going to trade at the deadline and who we have under contract. we are going to be even worse next year. UFA class isnt very good either. They will have to spend some money on someone.

I cant even guess who the #1 center will be. Domi? Monahan? Haula? Horvat? Acciari?

Reichel-Horvat-Raddysh
Kurashev-Domi-Johnson
Dickenson-Acciari-Lafferty
Entwistle-Blackwell-Katchouk
Johnson

I think there is a strong possibility they spend money on other teams cap dumps, acquiring additional picks for the rebuild as part of the transactions.

I hope so but im not sure there are that many players around the league in that spot right now. Theres so many players with NTC NMC.

Well their dropping...

Currently drafting 2nd, 23rd(TB), 34th, 55th(TB), 66th and 90th(Dal)

You act like Fiddy regularly reads our comments....

No, I have no idea if fiddy reads our comments - probably none of us do because he doesn't respond ... which is the point - he doesn't engage in the tedious tit-4-tat that is so prevalent here.

Currently Gawks #2 pick pre-lotto...our pick from TB in roubd 1 is at #22 ...of course TB could flip a switch and get to EC Final in pkayoffs...then pick would be anywhere from 29-32 depending how mich further they get. to tge Cup.

If it remained as is then if lotto bumps back Hawks back 1 or even 2 spots....wouks Hawks offer their own pick plus rge #22 to move back upto #2or #1 abd woukdxteans holding #1or#2 grab on to such an offer?
Maybe it depends on whether Hawjsxgot bumped back to #3or wre bumped 2 spots back to #4?

Or it coukd be Hawjs woukd just accept whoever remains at #4 and accept what they can get at #22?

But if only bumped back to#3,I think they woukd offer that plus # 22 to move uo to at least #2...

Bit tgese scenarios far away yet ...If Hawks draft outvofctop 4 after lotto=disaster. As after Bedard,Fabtilli ,Mi chjov and Carlsson you already drip into a 2nd tier...

Speaking of the diablo.

Ottawa wins, CBJ up 4 goals.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Great day for the tank. Senators take the win and CBJ likely to wrap up the victory as well.

 

[Sarava]

Hawks and Bears both currently sitting on the #2 pick...kind of depressing how we almost have to root for our teams to lose these days.

Again not the worst Blackhawks’ team we’ve seen before people...some might remember the 2004-2006 team that eventually turned into ‘the franchise of the decade’...top 5 pick will defiantly help...

Possibly seven picks in the top 100 in the next two drafts...after selecting EIGHT in the top 100 this past summer, we’re on the right path...

 

[JLarucci23]

My god are the Ducks horrid. Blew 3 leads, only to lose in OT. At lest they got a point?

Eakins makes Colliton look competent. They basically admitted they will tank by announcing he is staying for the season

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Anaheim finally picks up a win, only 1 point back again.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Anaheim finally picks up a win, only 1 point back again.

They have played 2 more games than Hawks though

Hawks next two games are against the Jets and Captials.

Ducks next two games are against the Sharks and the Sens.

Now... not saying the Ducks won't lose both games playing teams as shitty as them, but ima go out on a limb and say them playing 2 more games won't matter soon.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I was watching the CHGO podcast from yesterday and Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects compared Bedard to 88 with Matthews shot. Yes please.

 

[clydesdale line]

Ducks play the Sharks tonight. One of those teams has to lose which will help the Hawks. Here's hoping for an OT/SO game.

 

[Space umpire]

Blue Jackets are up 2-0 after 2 periods.

Blue Jackets won, Sharks are beating the breaks off of Anaheim, Arizona is (surprisingly) winning against Boston in the 3rd period. Could be a nice night for the tank. Only thing that would' make it fantastic is Anaheim coming back in that game.

As bad as Hawks are, Anaheim is going to be hard to catch. But then again, the Hawks are now last in league in scoring now, so maybe if you cant score you cant win so Hawks may have a chance to catch them

 

[clydesdale line]

And Boston just tied it against Zona. Of course.

Philly is tied with Vegas as well.

 

[hawksrule]

Yotes take the lead with 13 seconds left.

Nice, thanks Yotes!!!! Looking good for Hawks currently but Some point they are going to go on a mini point spree. Hope the other teams keep losing!!!!

 

[Hattrick Kane]

If Philly can pull it out, I’ll take the Ducks losing to the Sharks. We need more days like this one.
