Did I miss the announcement of draft being today?
Seriously odd timing/weird trade a month ahead of draft

Tbf we know roughly what names are going to be off the board for the top 17.I don't really understand this. We traded a very late second to slightly move up in th3 1st and 2nd? This is a move you do when you know that a guy won't be available a couple picks later.
If it happens sure. It's just not something that happens very often.Moving up now makes it easier to move up on draft day.
Agreed. We will see. It's also possible the Hawks think a guy they like gets picked at 18 or 19.If it happens sure. It's just not something that happens very often.
Could also add future seconds taking cap back in other dealsI wonder if the Hawks have identified the second round as crap so they’re going ahead with trying go move up and get more quality prospects. There is supposed to be a massive drop off.
I doubt we’ll see much of that this year. Everyone has lots of cap space, I suspect they’ll just hold onto the bad deals instead of throwing picks away to dump them.Could also add future seconds taking cap back in other deals
I'm eyeing that New Jersey pick at 10. That's a team that probably desperately doesn't want to miss the playoffs again. They'd be willing to do something hasty.It makes a lot of sense if your list drops off at 18 players. Or if youve got another trade up conversation that you want to pursue but 20 was too steep a drop for the team. I’m eyeing the Buffalo and Philly picks.
Don’t see Jersey doing that at allI'm eyeing that New Jersey pick at 10. That's a team that probably desperately doesn't want to miss the playoffs again. They'd be willing to do something hasty.
To Chicago:
-2024 1st round pick (10th overall)
-Jake Allen
-Nathan Bastian
To New Jersey:
-2024 1st round pick (18th overall)
-2024 3rd round pick (67th overall)
-2024 3rd round pick (72nd overall)
-Petr Mrazek
-Ryan Donato
-Lukas Reichel
Jiricek would be the name that makes sense with your list (and most mocks) of a guy that could/should be there at 18 but not at 20. Dedimov and Jiricek would be a spectacular draft for the HawksTbf we know roughly what names are going to be off the board for the top 17.

Arrange the order however way you want, but those are likely the top 17 names. Blackhawks are probably looking at a similar list on their end.
But like @Mrfenn92 said, I doubt it stops at 18. Strong possibility they package 18 to move up even further on draft day.
Davidson has the offseason f5 boredom curse that plagues us hereThis is a draft day trade when somebody falls and you gotta get your guy. Weird it's a month out.

New Jersey's biggest need is goaltending.Also Mrazek just signed extension. Hawks aren't going to trade him
