This has no impact whatsoever on who the Hawks decide to draft
Don't think he's spoken to the media yet.
But I imagine he'll be in Chicago tomorrow so I'd expect the media to talk to him.

Good trade, let’s hope Levshunov lives up to his draft pick position and we get a first overall this year so we can start winning again.

Moving Seth doesn't change anything draft wise. First, Schaefer is a LHD. Second, Hawks have invested quite a lot in defenders in the past several drafts already (Korchinski, Rinzel, Levshunov). We don't need to go with another D in the first round this year unless its BPA.
This..umm...this is maybe the most positive post you've ever made here. Definetly a sign of how much everyone here hated Seth Jones.

When a good move is made I say it’s a good move, people think I just hate for no reason or to troll but it’s just criticism of what I anticipate will be a bad move down the line. Back to this I can’t believe he got it done and a good return too. Gotta give him props where it’s due.

What a BITCH man, I just can't with this guy.
He comes out publicly saying he will facilitate trades so HE can finally win... A yeah but only to the sunny Florida champs and his crush Dallas.
I'm so beyond happy he's gone and I don't have to see him in the sweater I root for.
A selfish person and a dumb hockey player. Good riddance. Our team is in so much better of a position going forward.
Well done KD for extracting this much while being given this shit of a hand.

Yep. He wanted out so badly he went public with his comments and pissed off people in the organization (and some teammates according to Pat Boyle) and then he is only willing to waive for two teams? It's a miracle that Davidson was able to facilitate a trade to one of them.
He wanted to make it public to force the Hawks to trade him to one of those teams, with us retaining whatever was necessary and getting whatever trash in return. He didn't give a shit about how much this could've f***ed us over, he just wanted out.
And this guy wanted the C back in September. Goodbye asshole.

That Laz take is just awful. What a complete over simplification.
Florida drafted Barkov and Ekblad. Got insanely lucky with Forsling.
Colorado drafted their 1D and 1C.
Tampa drafted a significant portion of their core.
Like what point is he trying to make here? Obviously at some point the hawks will need to make hockey trades.(you know, like the one they just made)
But you aren’t going to trade for and sign a cup roster. That’s not how it works.
And to give the trade a C is next level attention whoring.

Laz is out here trying to pretend no team has won a cup while building through the draft in the cap era and his using the Wings and Sabres as his evidence lol.

Lazerus: Bill Zito’s Panthers, Kyle Davidson’s Blackhawks and the road not taken
It's long past time for Davidson to get aggressive, to start trying to win for real.

This is why you NEVER trade for a player who wants off their current team.
I don't want anymore players with Dany Heatley syndrome to play for this franchise ever again. They just turn around and do the exact same thing to you.

Was the 2026 4th roubd pick Florida receives from the Hawks in this draft the higher or the lesser of the 2 2026 4ths Hawks had or do tge Hawkscretain the option which to give them ...ie. was it already designated as the Hawks own 4th or designated as the 4th from Ottawa that Hawks owned.
I am guessing Hawks retain the option to provide the lesser of the 2 picks unless Florida stated it must be the higher (better) pick of that 4th round.

Ummm he is going from a Stanley Cup winning team to one of the worst teams in the NHL. He is going from absolute stud defensive teams to one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL. From one of the best run organizations to one of the current worst run or From Florida to Chicago...not sure anyone would be jumping for joy.

You don't necessarily think like a hockey player.
If I am Knight, I'd view it as young team, with a lot of assets and some very promising young players. An opportunity to be a starting goaltender in the NHL. A team with a lot of cap flexibility and an opportunity to get paid as a bonafide NHL starting goaltender. No longer stuck behind a guy like Bob who has to play a majority to justify his $10.5M.
Is the weather worse here? Sure. You're still an early twenties millionaire living in one of the best cities on the planet. You have access to the best parts of everything.
Knight can make a name for himself and become OUR guy as this team moves forward. He is 23 years old and could theoretically be a Blackhawk for the next 10-15 years. If he is good, he will help the team be good, and can be a part of something special.
Really hopeful that it pans out, but yes, goalies are voodoo.
He's going from back up to potentially starting role. He's a pro athlete..take it and go.
