Hopefully we start seeing an improvement next season.

They should re-sign Ian Mitchell.

They need to make it interesting for the fan base, bring up Allan and Del Mastro for two games and play them on the third pair, just two games. Sit Megna and Tinordi for those two games. You will not ruin them in two games, give them a taste of the league and the speed, then send them back for more development.

Along those lines I wouldn't mind seeing Dach or Teply get a game or two just to give experience. I know Teply isn't on many people's radar anymore, but at 22 years old, I don't see the harm in a couple games after he spent 3 years in Rockford. Just maybe you give him a shot in the arm to move forward.

One last diddy about my 2024 mock,
My Blackhawk fanboy prejudice doesn't make my list a lock.

I basically have gone tunnel vision on the landing spots for

Demidov,

Catton,

and

Helenius

You don't rely on my rankings of them, because they are very interesting high players, all at different places in their development but all with an solid enough footing on the floor that NHL teams might see them as in lower numbered slots they I have them.

i just continue trying to with a Blackhawk loss in the lottery, get guys that are a bit bigger, a bit closer or a bit more scorers in the cases of the non-Russians.

I wouldn't doubt they go earlier than many of the high advertised defenseman, because size doesn't seem to skew the scales like before. No one is turning down a Point-sized or a Barzal sized one either.

I doubt they win 5 more games the rest of the year.

They are 0 forever on the road since October/November

I'm not sure if Darth Kane was kidding when he predicted the Hawks were going to win only once this month, despite having only one road game, but it's looking like a real possibility now.

When have you ever known me to not be serious???

In The Athletic, Wheeler has Nashville at #8 in his prospect pool rating. I suspect will see Chicago soon.

Maybe if Dach comes back soon from a strained hip.

Maybe Winnipeg igoing to be the Utah Jets?

I'd guess there's a better chance of the Utah Coyotes.

Another game. Dear God, make it stop.

It'll be one helluva payout if you bet this.

Seattle was ranked 12th; and Montreal is ranked 10th on his list.

The 7 not yet mentioned are: Chicago, San Jose, Anaheim, Columbus, Buffalo, Detroit, and Philadelphia.

Would be shocked if Buffalo or Anaheim isn't #1.

Let's go 'Hawks. Give 'em a tough game!

Maybe Winnipeg igoing to be the Utah Jets?

That’s a fear mongering article. True North essentially owns all of downtown Winnipeg.

All those guys are going to be picked between 5-10.

The Hawks will be picking in the top-4. I really don't see how any of Celebrini, Levshunov, Lindstrom, Silayev aren't wearing an Indianhead sweater.

I'd guess that Anaheim is #1 and the Hawks will be #4 or #5.

If the Hawks aren't drafting #1 and he's still available I still think they go with Eiserman and draft a d-man with Tampa's pick. Levshunov could be an interesting choice if the Hawks draft #3 and Celebrini and Eiserman are both taken.

I'd guess that Anaheim is #1 and the Hawks will be #4 or #5.

Unless KD trades it away.

They should re-sign Ian Mitchell.

And pair him with Korbustsky.

Yeah but Mitchell is a sure thing, the next Duncan Keith.

Well that worked out well. Bowman squad ability to hype D prospects second to none.

One of the lesser hyped ones, Vlasic seems to be working out pretty well. I know it pains some people here to acknowledge anything positive that happened during Bowman's tenure but there are a few more dmen he drafted in the mix afa potential future Hawks.

Oh stop! Can you name anything of consequence Blowman did in his tenure as a Blackhawk GM?
