Anticipated trade deadline moves tilt the scales in favor of San Jose I suspect as they have numerous pending UFA forwards I think they will move a few of.

Yep I agree here. I think the Hawks will finish with the 2nd best odds and will likely drop a spot or two.

If the Blackhawks don't land a top two pick in this draft Davidson needs to be fired for putting this team thru such bullshit they're all mad on the ice.
Seeing your generational talent punching walls because the incompetent GM decided to bring in injury prone players and broken down fourth liners ain't a good look.

That's all you ever say, like dang dude, we get it.
That’s not right…no team can win the lottery more than 2 times in a 5 year span…Chicago could pick first without winning the draft lottery…2 teams can only move up a maximum 10 spots, so the bottom 11 teams have the a chance at 1st overall…teams 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 would not move ‘the needle,
Back in 2007 Chicago lucked out in the Lockout Crosby Draft sweepstakes and got to pick 7th(they drafted Jack Skille)
2008 the picked 3rd(Jonathan Toews)
2008 the won the Draft Lottery and picked 1st(Patrick Kane)
Five top four finishes and three Cups later their doing it all over again…
2022 they picked 7th(Kevin Korchinski)
2023they ‘again’ won the draft lottery and picked 1st(Connor Bedard)
2024? If they end up drafting 3rd? It’ll still an awesome chance to build greatness!

This is all over the place.
Davidson is a horrible evaluator of talent and his head scout is a knob.
If you are openly wanting this team to lose, are a tank bro, or are keeping track of losses instead of wins, ask yourself, how much of a fan are you really of this team?
But questioning the draft picks and trades of a guy who was given a job nobody else wanted, who the team flat out went searching for general managerial prospects from other sports outside of hockey, who tore down this team into a laughing stock of the league, and my loyalty is questioned? El oh El.
Kyle Davidson is the worst GM in all of sports, and lucking into Bedard should have been his ground zero but instead it's been his personal quicksand. Trading young, elite talent for just young talent will never be a success.
How’s Subban doing this season?

With Seth Jones playing the way he is, Id say we have last place sewn up.
What team could hope to match his negative impact?

If at the end of the regular season Chicago and San Jose are tied in both points and also regulation wins, what is the next tiebreaker?

Tie-Breaking Procedure
If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:- The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
- The greater number of games won, excluding games won in Overtime or by Shootout (i.e., 'Regulation Wins'). This figure is reflected in the RW column.
- The greater number of games won, excluding games won by Shootout. This figure is reflected in the ROW column.
- The greater number of games won by the Club in any manner (i.e., 'Total Wins'). This figure is reflected in the W column.
- The greater number of points earned in games against each other among two or more tied clubs. For the purpose of determining standing for two or more Clubs that have not played an even number of games with one or more of the other tied Clubs, the first game played in the city that has the extra game (the 'odd game') shall not be included. When more than two Clubs are tied, the percentage of available points earned in games among each other (and not including any 'odd games') shall be used to determine standing.
- The greater differential between goals for and against (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. This figure is reflected in the DIFF column.
- The greater number of goals scored (including goals scored in Overtime or awarded for prevailing in Shootouts) for the entire regular season. This figure is reflected in the GF column.
Kyle Davidson is just fine as a GM. He's made some good trades and I like his philosophy on drafting. Bedard was a no-brainer so that doesn't count. But I like this high end skating, high energy type of player that he's focused on. He's not in a hurry and he's building organically. This team wasn't going to make any waves, the injuries were outlandish and instead of panic, he hit the wavers and traded away low probability draft picks to get some bodies. Let's see what Greene, Nazar, Hayes, Moore, Savoie, Ludwinski, Gajan, etc become ....that's the only way to evaluate a GM from a drafting perspective.

Two Sudbury Wolves players suspended for 'inappropriate' group chat comments
Sudbury Wolves Nathan Villeneuve was suspended 15 games and Evan Konyen was suspended 10 games for violating the OHL's social media policy, the league announced Wednesday.
Well that won't be good for Villeneuve's draft stock..

It’s too bad. His stock was rising, he was playing well. I said that he was playing with an edge when I saw him, guess I was a little too on the nose.Two Sudbury Wolves players suspended for 'inappropriate' group chat comments
