That was in months ago, but more importantly....who cares? New topic.

1) Which Blackhawks line is best equipped to go against the Reeves line?
2) How many different wings will play with Strome?
3) Will Subban get in a game?

New topic?

The hawks are going to have fits with the cycling game the Knights play regardless of line. There had better be some serious buy in By every hawk player to battle for pucks and for ice or this will be over very quickly.

I can’t see Subban playing unless there’s a blowout or if Crow gets injured.

Another win for the Hawks... they have Pittsburgh's 2nd round pick (acquired in the Lehner to Vegas deal) and with PIT now at 15th overall, Hawks move from 55th to 45th with their 2nd pick.

Wow winner winner chicken dinner New York took home the #1 pick. Congrats to Darth who called it coreectly.

Has the order of the 2nd round been confirmed? Usually the lottery applies just to the first round, but is it different this year? I’ve tried to find something in the return to play plan, but if refers to the first 15 picks and not beyond.

Now that uncle Dale has been launched from FLA, I'd love to see Stan go there and try to win a cup. I'd love to see Q's reaction.

This just in, Trump wants his fat face on Mt. Rushmore. The absurd never ends.

And just like the good little blind sheep you are , you buy into anything the liberal media spoon feeds you. I'm sure you also believe that Russia interfered in our elections and that china is our ally?

Nice spot to pick up a falling talent (could add the extra 3rd to move up if needed)

The Hawks drafted Krys at #45 in 2016.

The white Sox officially suck again

No but seriously gotta be patient and lower the expectations. Average team as is. Next season and beyond I expect gradual improvement towards contending.

Draft preview from Pronman in ‘The Athletic’. Assumes Hawks out in 1st round, as the rest of R1 is based on 2020 Playoffs. And Tallon out in FLA, by mutual decision of him & the team.

17. Chicago Blackhawks: Dawson Mercer, C, Chicoutimi-QMJHL

Chicago tends to target skill and hockey sense in its draft picks, attributes that Mercer has in bunches. I think fellow Canadian centers Connor Zary or Seth Jarvis, if he gets to No. 17, also make sense for those reasons. Russian winger Rodion Amirov had a strong summer tournament for Russia’s U20 team and some scouts think he moved his way into the mix in the teens, which would also make sense for Chicago and the kind of player they like.

Attempting to take the moral high ground by saying "let's keep this to hockey and keep the politicians out of it" after you called his statements "b.s." is pathetically hypocritical. Practice what you claim to preach.

Mercer would be a good choice. At 17 it’s harder to predict who the Hawks will draft.

- DarthKane

Not sure if Bickell or Krys were rated pre-draft as round 1 but pretty sure the other three were.

DeBrincat dropped to round 2 because he is a "Smurf".
Saad dropped to round 2 because he had a "bad attitude".
Vlasic dropped to round 2 - not sure why - because he's gangly(?)

Wondering who is the 2020 round 1 talent that might drop through to the early-mid 2nd round and be another potential draft steal?
