These Cs all have very similar point numbers........that being said, I'm a very big, big, big proponent of....how is their FO winning %? The tie-breaker for me.....FO winning %.........not even another close tie-breaker, in my book.

He was in Florida for the pre-draft meetings and everything I read is that his goal is the NHL. He was asked about Bedard and knew a whole lot. I personally think he's the 2nd best talent in the draft but I do acknowledge the risk. The Hawks will probably take the safer pick but I believe they have better D talent in the system than forwards.

Good take and I agree with you, for the most part, however, all the young D won't make the Blackhawks because there are so many. One or more can be, and probably, traded in the near future for an established forward. Korchinski, Vlasic are already there. I'm expecting Del Maestro to make it next year, Kizer and Phillips have some experience and will get more next season imo.....Rinzel, Allen (signed thru 25-26), Crevier and Roos. And these are just the D-men in the system who have contracts! Who knows who's in the Juniors playing well? A few will definitely be "trade bait." I don't like the unsureness of Demidov. Take the sure thing in Levshunov. (sp)

One last thing on why I think Levshunov is going to be the pick.......I've read that he did not visit any other team but the BHs.....so his agent probably told other teams not to bother scheduling a meeting, it would be a waste of time.......BHs probably told the agent....."He's the guy" .....quote Monk 2003-2009....don't want to plagiarize here...give Monk his due.....:) .....but only the BHs know for sure.

I believe Demidov is a point a game player and would be amazing with Bedard. The team needs another dynamic weapon. We will find out shortly. If the Hawks pass on him, some team is going to be clicking their heels like a little school girl when they select him.

Sacha Boisvert - Stats, Contract, Salary & More

Eliteprospects.com hockey player profile of Sacha Boisvert, 2006-03-17 Trois-Rivières, QC, CAN Canada. Most recently in the undefined with Univ. of North Dakota. Complete player biography and stats.
www.eliteprospects.com www.eliteprospects.com

Boisvert is a goalscorer. A deceptive wrister and powerful one-timer make him a threat from distance, while his net-front skills and off-puck timing drive his in-tight finishing. He can also make just about every pass in the book, easily navigating layers of sticks with slip and saucer passes, even off the backhand. The passing skills appear mostly off the rush, finding cross-ice targets for high-value entries and faking the shot to prepare the cross-slot lane. -

Already an upgrade over Reichel.


I like how we drafted. Theoretically we might have risked for better, but I think KD did a solid. He gor a righty D. He got a potential #2C, and probably the next Hagel.

What could've been on draft night?​

Could have been fireworks at the top of the draft tonight. Hearing that the Blackhawks offered next year’s first-round pick, unprotected, plus another pick, in return for the fourth overall pick.
Believe it came pretty close but the Blue Jackets passed. They really love Cayden Lindstrom and couldn't pass up taking him.

Seems most hockey analysts believe the Hawks could have had better players than who they selected

Totally agree. Did they trade away the 2nd to move to 18 to specifically get Boisvert or did they have to settle? We'll never know. Not sure about the 2nd trade either giving up the remaining 2nds to move up a few slots. Time will tell.

I sure wish the trade offer to move to 4 would have happened but then again, the team is very far away from contending and next year's pick should be a top 5. I really wanted Demidov.

8 players all range from 6'1' to 6'3"....6 big body Forwards is just what they needed....2 D-men one 6'2" and one 6'3"....this draft is about winning puck battles and protection for the smaller guys who don't fight....not stats btw so sorry to disappoint some of you....

If Demidov is so great why did 4 teams pass on him? Inquiry minds want to know.

A quote about Boisvert........"He takes pride in his two-way game and his success on FACE-OFFS..............Mark Morreale - NHL.com. takes pride on FOs..... Sounds like a Jonathan Toews type player. But what do I know?
