Hope Pickle's better than Robertson.

Also, we got a Chicagoland Alex. Happy now, Turcotte fans?

Awesome pick. Chicagoland kid. Big, strong defender. Hawks don't have many solid defensive prospects like him and he'll balance out some of the smaller guys like Beaudin and Mitchell.

Also, seen him compared to Bruin's Carlo.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

There is no way this kid doesn’t get the nickname pickle

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Seems like fine pick

Now we can move a defensive prospect in trade to improve team

 

[Fire Stan Bowman]

love it

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

There is no way this kid doesn’t get the nickname pickle

of course, given that his cousin already has that nickname lol. Pickles

 

[giza]

Was really hoping to get him but thought he might go a little earlier-----awesome pick and will compliment the smallish, puck moving D prospects......Stan is certainly going size so far!

 

[bwana63]

Looks like a good choice. Assuming Vlasic pans out, he'll be a good-great partner for one of our offensive defensemen. Can't teach 6' 6". Lack of offense really isn't an issue with us.

 

[CallMeShaft]

As KBS alluded to, for those who didn't know, this kid is first cousins with Marc-Edouard Vlasic from the Sharks.

 

[bwanajamba]

Sort of like with Dach there were some other names there that looked good, but I don’t hate the pick itself

 

[clydesdale line]

I like him. If he is even half the defender as his cousin, it's a MASSIVE win.

 

[Naster Okan]

This is exactly who I wanted. Didn’t think he’d be there.

 

[southernbeardown54]

Seems jc is not so keen on a team of small softies. He must have some influence on these picks

 

[migi]

I'm very ok with this.

 

[featherhawk]

Good solid pick. Stan can now use another d prospect In Addition to other assets to improve the club

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

This is exactly what I have heard. He wants to build his team like the 2012-14 LA Kings.

 

[hawksrule]

Yeah, but only because people are lazy.

 

[BK]

I believe he is on the record saying he wants a team that can play in all situations. (physical games and skill games)

What do you think those Kings teams were? They had a nice mix of size and skill.

They were but speed could beat them. They didn't want the game to open up.

 

[ReLyT]

Hope they send him to play in London for the Knights

 

[Kevin Musto]

They drafted for need here imo.

Good bloodlines. I like this pick.
