We need top line forwards in the worst way. You took your big swing on a top pairing guy last year with Lev. Not to mention 7OA on Korchinski.

Love Schaefer but I'm only taking him if you know Korchinski isn't in the long term plans and you deal him for a young forward. Otherwise I'm not doing it.
Give me Misa. Love Hagens but another small, skilled forward in the pipeline would be rough.

McQueen injury might hurt him. Basically the same back issue that Cayden Lindstrom had. I think Lindstrom's uncertainty now is going to hurt McQueen. A big guy with back issues this early is a huge red flag for me. I hope the Hawks stay away.

Oh man, I had no idea that was his injury
I think the Hawks might have to get a top 3 pick to get Misa.

Frondell might be really good but he doesn't fit the Hawks need for size. You can't draft for size that high though. It would be kinda annoying if they got him or Hagens, ngl, but you have to take the best player. Right now I wish the Hawks had pulled off the trade with CBJ, regardless. I like Demidov more than anyone other than Martone and Misa, and I don't think the Hawks are likely to get either of them.

You thought Misa was small and now you think Frondell is small? Do you study any of these players? Since when is 6'0, 190+ pound player small?
Frondell is a terrific prospect. I think he's a step below Carlsson but he's very good. And you can never go wrong with a strong 2 way Swedish centermen

I got Misa confused with his brother. I know that Frondell is 6-0 190. Reichel is also 6-0.
My definitions:
5-10 or shorter small
5-11 to 6-1 average
6-2+ is someone with size.
The Hawks forwards are mostly small, with a few average guys. Boisvert is the only higher end guy with size.
It's part of the reason I wanted the Hawks to take Musty instead of Moore.
IMO Schafer is the best D prospect at the time of his draft year since Dahlin. Absolutely electric
I'm hesitant on Martone like some of the others on here. Doesn't drive play the way I expected

Assuming we don't win the lottery, it will not be an exercise in who is the best prospect or even best fit or positional need. It will be picking the best available player with the options we have on the board. That said, I will be ecstatic if we end up with any of Hagens, Martone or Misa and I would have a real hard time not taking Schaefer if he is on the board and the other 3 were gone. Of all the LHD in our pipeline/roster, Vlassic is the only sure thing to be above a 3rd pairing guy until proven otheriwse.

Frondell is 6ft1 and 190lbs. That's nearly the size of Patrice Bergeron now, and Frondell is a teenager.
His talent might hold him back, I don't know, I haven't studied him enough, but his size shouldn't be an excuse if he doesn't work out. He's got decent size.
