Tyler Cameron: Re-Draft Friday: 2010 Welcome to the time machine that I am calling "Re-Draft Friday". This will be a 7-part series reoccurring, yep, you guessed it… every Friday.

First

Ugh that was a killer draft for us...if just a couple of those picks would have hit it would have certainly helped the next few years and built up our prospect pool....

The Truth in the 7th rd. What a nothing draft class.

Hate to say it, but St. Lou had a great draft that year. Not so much for Stanley Cup wins (yet), but they got good regular season players in that first round.

...If my bubble was my zayde....

Hawks may have missed on Kent Simpson, but they made up for it 4+ years later with Scott Foster (who certainly had a much better career....)

Great write up TC.

Not a ton of stars on that list of names, but a lot of guys who ended up being useful, legit NHL players. It’s one thing to be forced into trading Byfuglien and company for Cap Compliance, but what the Hawks walked away from that draft with sure is cringe worthy.

Anyone wanting the Hawks to take Byram with the 3rd overall pick should take a look back at the 2004 draft. It’ll scare the bejesus outta anyone wanting the best D-man in a weak D-class. Somehow Baby Stewie was the #1 overall rated North American skater in the Central Scouting rankings

Three Hawk picks out of that draft have had serviceable careers in the show - Hayes, Johns, Nordstrom.

Not bad, I think, especially since one was a low first, the other two being a low 2nd and a low 3rd.

Too bad all (even Hayes) are not with the Blackhawks, but ok.

I think Bowman’s crew have done pretty well in the drafts (we’ll see with the rest of your Re-Draft Friday entries) post-Tallon, considering their normally-low draft positions.

Hi Tyler...(Justin)



I look at this draft and can't help but think it is eeriely similar to this years peredicted crop.
You have the Top 2 secured. A concensus gap from them to the rest. Same thing as most are predicting this year.

The question is....Which of the remaining is the "Tarasenko". Can the Hawks guess the right guy at #3.

Only time will tell....but Hawks have a crap shoot between 5-6 guys to guess right. Hope we nail it!

Interesting year: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/nhl2010e.html

Klingberg, Ferland, and Gallagher all went in Round 5.

Mark Stone near the end of Round 6!

But then you look at 2002 and a fairly good dman Duncan Keith was selected in the second round. It is such a crap shoot!

Anyone read the article in the Athletic on team USA U18? Turcotte almost missed the tournament not because he was injured, but because he had pneumonia which turned to mono. His dad said he spent 10 straight days sleeping, so you could imagine he wasn't 100% in the tournament and still played pretty well.

People can always lament on the player(s) passed over but, it just goes to show how much of a crap shoot it is trying to project an NHL career on a 17-18-19 year old.

Exactly.... all the more reason Stan needs to select Cole Caufield!

Or to project when it comes to those going to college whether they want to play with your team or not (Hayes, Vesey)

Good job buddy. Very informative regarding the past draft years. And what we can kind of expect moving forward. Excellent read.

Only if he trades up to get him. Throw in that Toes bum and make it happen Stan!

Overall, I can't complain too much about the Hawks drafts. 3 Cups and 3 sure-fire, 1st ballot HOFers, plus a couple of others that might be borderline HOFers is a not too shabby record.

However, completely whiffing on 3 of 4 2nd rounders in the same draft is a pretty serious fail.

My takeaway here is that each draft is so different. Some years there are only a small handful of impactful NHL players in the entire draft. In that cases, if you miss on a second rounder, well, so did pretty much every other team, if not their first.

In comparison, look back at the 2003 draft when Seabs was drafted. Impact players all over that draft, and that first round was ridiculously talented.

The its nap time

Exactly, like the 2012 draft (Yakapov #1, where you can argue #11-20 ended up being far better NHLer's than # 1-10, but no superstars (Hawks picked Teuvo #18)

amazing performance and gritty too

Like the idea Ty. Good stuff to kick around while watching some playoff hockey and waiting for Stan to call Caufield’s name from the podium.

Not looking at all of them this instant but I’d be surprised if this wasn’t their worst, yet they still came away with 3 NHL players which isn’t bad at all.

Hayes decision you can’t blame on the Hawks and I like the krama/female dog angle from missing out on a Cup...hell, maybe 2 or 3.

It sucks they had to part with Johns to offload Sharpshooter. His story is still being written but he Would potentially look good next to one of the smaller skilled guys coming up in the pipeline.

Nordy was here for a Cup. All that said, lots of misses but 3 NHL players. I would think you’d have to give them a C/C-.
