I don’t think Turcotte is a great fit for Chicago only because we need da beef block, he’s just average sized and we are a team of midgets, time to start balancing the scale.

I didn't want to be the same as Ruprecht so I flipped the first 2 players. I could see Byram going at #2, for me he would be the best pick for the Hox.
It would be more fun to ban a poster instead of a mod, the ban would take place immediately following the 5th pick ,thus not having to hear it from "that guy" for 3 days

God...
The player I want to draft is LORD Byram.
And by god I will be overjoyed if they take Lord Byram at #2 because that means we walk away with a dynastic forward on a team that already has two! If its 3 at 3 or they take a chance on Turcotte or Pods being in that category at #3 I don't blame them and I ain't worried.
Hawks won this draft already baby!! Whatever they do we walking away with
kakko or Hughes...
OR THE PERFECT PLAYER FOR THE HAWKS IMMEDIATE RUN THE NEXT TWO YEAR...Lord Byram.

smartest guy in the room, with anchors, betterans and 4 prospects in tow for the blue line, along with possibly getting Byram,
Scott Powers of The Athletic reports the Blackhawks have spoken to the Columbus Blue Jackets about a possible Ryan Murray trade.
Murray is a restricted free agent and is coming off an injury however set a career high in points last season with only 56 games played.
Powers adds that the Blue Jackets would likely only want draft picks in return according to his fellow Athletic reporter, Aaron Portzline.
The Hawks won't move their #3 overall pick, however Powers believes they'd be willing to throw in a prospect or two to package with either their second round pick and maybe one of their fourth round picks.

I will preface and say I hope we take Byram with our pick. I like Cozens alot as big guys who have elite skating are hard to come by. There is alot of smoke around Turcotte right now.
My top 3 for Hawks picks would be
Byram
Cozens
Turcotte
For the 1st 5 picks I could see some strange off the wall things happening. Here is what I think will happen
Hughes
Kakko
Turcotte
Cozens
Byram
This is the crazy scenario
Hughes
Pods
Kakko
Turcotte
Caulfield
Here is how I would like to see

Why do you have Turcotte ahead of Kakko?

The ban should be the first three days of free agency.
That would severely piss me off, lol.
And it was on Reddit that Byram didn't have the best combine. Idk if this is why he looks like he's fallen from 3. He might be falling out the top 5

My favorite teams
Thing is Turcotte would be a good pick in my opinion. Aside from Hughes, he's the best center of the draft class and has more hockeyIQ and a higher floor* than Cozens or the others. I'm like 55-45 on Byram but I don't think the 'hawks lose with Turcotte.
However, I do think there's a chance, and a significant one at that, that Stan pretends like he's the smartest guy in the room, and gets Caulfield.
* - I think that the major problem a lot of people are doing with this draft is they're looking at the highest ceiling, and not the highest floor. With pick 3 we have an excellent chance at getting a piece that will be *the* next guy in terms of deployment: Either the next Keith (Byram), next Toews (Turcotte or Hughes if he drops), or an outsdie chance of the next Hossa (Kakko if he drops). In that respect, safer is better than a gamble.
Realistically I think Byram bottoms out as a mid-pair defenseman if all goes wrong. Realistically it's about the same for Turcotte: a middle C. Aside from Hughes and Kakko: in my opinion guys like Cozens, Dach, etc. have the lowest floors--some of them being a Barker or worse, a Beach. I think it's a major consideration because barring a complete pants-downer of a year coming up this might be the best shot the 'hawks have at getting the next generation of talent.
And while I don't think a guy like Caufield has a low floor, I don't think he's the BPA at 3 given his O-only game, and further if anything he's the next Kane or Debrincat--the two players on the team which will probably be the most viable the longest. So in my opinion he's not the guy to get--but again, Stan pretending he's the smartest guy in the room makes me worried he'd try that.
