We say this every year and it never happens

Chicago has a better team (improve scoring stats), it will be easier to sell

This year's KD crush?



He's 5'7 so has a good chance of dropping, but lots to like.

Cullen Potter is the better skater to my understanding and just a touch bigger at 5'9" so might be more the KD choice. Though he might just get bullied enough in the NCAA/NCHC at ASU to drop as well.

I like the idea of Misa at around the spot the Hawks may pick, potential 2nd line center/1st line winger.

Lot of good forwards this year let's hope, Hagens, Frondell, Martone, Misa, McQueen, Ryabkin, Spence, Moore. Hopefully some good options when the Hawks pick.

We need high end forwards in the worst way

Doesn't help when your burn your top 20 pick on a low end forward.

Don't mind me, just thinking about Artamonov's killer start to the season...

Never say never, but I’d be shocked if Davidson took a 5’9” or shorter forward in the 1st. This team really needs to add some size. In the 2nd? Then I could see it because you might have another DeBrincat or Stankoven situation.

Carolina just seems to know what they are doing draft wise. For a playoff team, they have a pretty healthy pipeline because they make smart decisions like these. When are other teams gonna catch up? lol

It was a Doneghey pick, but KD still made it
