Drooling over the 2026 NHL Draft ...trouble visiting,Hawks could be a long way from top 5 or 6...

This is the draft of Gavin McKenna (Bedard's cousin)and of the Bigs:

.Ethan Belchetz 6'5 230 at 16 yrs old and Maddox Dagenais 6'3 189 at 16 years old..

But maybevtge most intriguing potential of all= The Freak...AALEXANDER KARMANOV a 7'0 273lb monster Dman from Moldova who is playing for Willie's-Baree Scranton in the Atlantic Youth Hockey League u16AAA and committed to Penn State .for 27/28 season.
Maybe we will see him in the USHL in 25/26 or maybe he getsxtaken by a CHL team in their draft of talent. So it would be 2 years in junior after this season before he even gets tokens State...He coukd grow even biggervorcadd more weight..hevis a Freak.
The clip I saw of him shows he moves pretty well and that will improve as he develops and works on his skating...But he looks pretty agile for his size ...Has a pro wrist shot from distance..If he adds a slapper he could one day develop such a hard shot nobody would want to risk getting in the way of that...
Surprisingly he is dominating scoring..

Raw Iin terms of hockey sense reading plays defensively but hev s young and coaching+development could improve him as he gains more experience.

We shall see..but their already is some buzz of excitement about him among scouts now.
Thru his first 6GP he has 4g 6a ...
Still a long way fron the 2026 draft ...but could be a great draft of top future pros..

Without more offense this team is surely only bottom5 ..despite hard co Pete level..

If I am correct (should the offense not inprove) ,we are in goid lottonposition to draft Porter Martone whi is the Big and talented scoring wingers to complete that Bedard line.

But if we do not wi the lotto or if we get 2nd overall after lotto and Martinevsonehow is not taken 2st overall,and we get homat#2, we otherwise need to try to move up.

If we somehow get more offensexand rise up to8-12 range pre-lotto drW ..we need big ger luck to move upto #2or#2...or any package of picks,for 2025cand after and/or combination of picks and pipeline e prospects to move up will need to be giving a big haul to get hom.

But...maybe wexare tt a stage wherever Need to make a big splash GET lije Martine who is do minting the OHL in his draft year so far...


On pace for 155 points forvthe regular season...which if he stays on that pace beats Bedard who only had 143 points in his draft sesson.


Martone is the quintesential Big winger with difference-majer scoring who the Hawks are missing up front to fully uplift th e top li e into the stratosphere.

We have a lot of picks and prospects to put together a package tomorrow up if we need to...at least KD ought to try putting up a good offer to movevup unless we get lucky via lotto..


But whoever is kast or 2nd last after lotto also may covet Nartone as a key piece above any fair package deal offer.

Just saying..if KD offers a realky goid combination package then possibly we land Martone...

I would give up Nazar in such a deal plusvmbviouly our own first and our 2nd 2025 pick plus more picks and prospects..maybe it would take 5 assets of picks/prospects goi g thebotger way to a door at team with the 1stvorc2bd pick ...

Bit clearly Martine is what we need to make line #1,elite.and KD needs to exhaust alk efforts if need be for us to get him.
