Looking WAY WAY WAY ahead to the possibilities of the 2025 Entry Draft...
Chicago could potentially have FOUR first rounders, two seconds, third, two fourths, sixth and a seventh...
How this could happen is as follows...
If NYRangers make it to Eastern Conference this year the Hawks will receive a top 10 protected 1st for the 2024 draft instead of a 2nd in this years draft, so if the Rangers boom out next year it would become an unprotected 2025 1st
If Tampa Bay continues its downward cycle and finishes next season bottom ten their 2024 protected 1st would move to another unprotected 2025 1st
Hawks have Toronto’s top 10 protected 1st from the McCabe-Lafferty trade and of course their 2025 1st
Wouldn’t it be great if EVERYTHING comes together? Hawks win 2023 draft lottery and select Connor Bedard, have a great rest of draft picking 20th, 35th, 44th, 52nd, 67th, 89th, 99th...have a modest 2024 draft with 8 picks and then pick...wait for it...1st and 2nd and overall(NYR, TB) plus two more times in the 2025 draft! Wow!
