This team is just another lottery team.

Sikura plays on the right and Kampf is a Center. Hayden also plays on the Right. Forsling plays on the left.

It's semantics. I didn't put them in the correct positional spots because I didn't care. It was about who I would see making the opening day roster if they didn't make any other moves.

This is a very thin roster. I would've drafted Wahlstrom if I was Bowman.

Trust me, majority of hawks followers on this site would say the same thing. It's a tough pill to swallow.

It wouldn't have mattered to this year's roster if they did - Wahlstrom isn't going to play in the NHL until next season at the earliest.

I like Wahlstrom a lot too, but let's be real here, at least the Hawks have young skill players on the NHL roster now (Schmaltz, DeBrincat, Sykura) that have potential to be top 6 forwards or are so already. The issue is outside Jokiharju and maybe Forsling, the Hawks have very few blue chip defensive prospects. If Boqvist pans out, they need that type of top 4 defenseman to replace Keith/Seabrook as they are both fading fast.

Agreed, in it's current composition, due to the strength of the Central Division especially, this Hawks team most likely misses the playoffs. At best if you squint with everything falling into place which was the opposite of last year, this is maybe a wild card team that gets crushed in the first round again by a Winnipeg/Nashville/San Jose.
