    After the season when Toews walks it’ll be the official end of an era

    I can’t believe some team doesn’t want Domi. Also hawks need to figure out a way to shut seth Jones down for the rest of the season

    Sure hope Davidson knows what he is doing. As of today the hawks have 9 picks in the top 100. currently picking #2, #26(TB), #34, #46(OTT), #57(NYR), #58(TB), #66, #93(DAL) and #96

    I have seen more than one person mention that this draft is extremely deep to go along with some generational talent in the top 4.

    With a pretty meh return for Kane and nothing for Toews, I would say Kyle has done a really nice job of stocking up on picks. I'm sure we will add some FA's this offseason that will be sold off as well on the next deadline just adding to our collection.

    Probably have to go 1-5-1 down the stretch to get the top lottery odds. If they don’t get 1 or 2 this will be a wasted season even though the top 4-5 picks should all be good players

    What’s the tie breaker for the lottery? Regulation wins?

    I don't follow prospects close enough outside of Bedard is elite of elite (but undersized?) and Fantili (sp) is also elite.... So if we miss out on Bedard it's not the end of the world? Do I have this correct. Basically just don't get pick 4 because it's going to be the Russian kid and he's not coming over anytime soon...

    bedard is a super elite prospect, crosby/McDavid level. Fantili is a very very good prospect, the next tier down of star. Fantili would be the top prospect in most drafts but bedard is such a much better prospect

    No concern over his height/size?

    he’s going to need to put on weight but he’s about Crosby’s height. He’s bigger than kane who will be a first ballot hall of fame player.

    Well Pit is at home and is in a must win situation. Hawks finish the season back home at the end of a 3 games in 4 nights. Philly does suck so I’m a little worried about that game. If they were smart they’d sit down seth Jones for that game but they’ll all be trying to win for toews.

    my boys celebrated the wilds second goal like it was a playoff goal, made me laugh. This is a three player draft, really need to go into the draft not being able to fall out of the top 3
