Who should the Hawks draft; please vote

For me its Cozens or Podkolzin.

Same vote

Let's assume nobody is ready next year, which I think is a fair assumption, I'm going Turcotte or trading down for Caufield. Caufield is a young mix of Kane and Debrincat IMO....has a shot like Cat and skates like Kane...could be a very dangerous player if he can make the jump the way the other two did. Podkozlin looked like crap at the World Juniors this past couple weeks; not an impact player at all. Turcotte looked good and Cozens was okay. Caufield was the standout player by a country mile.

Throw up your vote

1.) Turcotte 2.) Bryam 3.) Podkolzin

Bowen Bryam don't @ me

I did as well. He's not getting enough love

Don’t bother trading down take cole Caulfield he’s Alex debrincat 2.0 lethal release

Byram. None of the current D-prospects other than Jokiharju can defend. Podkolzin other than the Hlinka was just OK and you have no clue when or if he's coming over. I'd be OK with Turcotte or Cozens. Caulfield may be like Debrincat...but they've already got the original. Scoring wasn't an issue for this team.

One of 3 Cozens, Byram or Podkolzin.

Select Byram and trade out one of our existing D prospects for immediate help.

That, or trade down for Caufield/Turcotte/Zegras.

Take Byram, trade Mitchell + for immediate 2 way forward or D help.

I think Cozens can jump in right away and play 3rd line center. Podkolzin is good but the Russian contract scares me. Bryan is amazing. He would be good if we trade Gus, Beaudin, Mitchell, and Dhlstrom, Forsling, and Korkoek

Trade up for Kaapo

I'm ready to remove Vasili form the #3 OA conversation. The risk of him NOT playing in the NHL for at least 2 years is very real. Bowman would have to be 110% sure...and...I truly don't think that's possible considering it's SKA St. Petersburg. With that said...1 tournament doesn't make or break a prospect...Alexander Romanaov was the Russian LD darling at worlds last year, but has done literally NOTHING in the KHL this entire year. What a waste of a year for his development. Also, Filip Gustaffson was supposed to be the next Carey Price...He's still on OTT's farm system. BOTH of these guys can and will play better...they're just examples. I don't know how far down Vasili drops... that'll be interesting to find out.

For me, I'd trade down for Caufield. Yes, I'm that 1 vote up there. Bowman's made his own name for finding these guys, but I kinda feel like..." "The Cat's" out of the bag." " … Yes, stupid Dad pun with double quotes too!... Here's the thing though. Cole isn't a sure thing and the Hawks already have (2)...of what he might...maybe...one day...be. Yes, that's a Freakin Awesome player, but if you can't reasonably trade down then to me it's Cozens or Byram. That also has caveats. If the Hawks trade ANY d prospect away then it's Byram to be in a heart beat. If they don't...Cozens in a heart beat. Why so binary? They're both really talented players. Help out the team sooner rather than later by filling a need. Toews/Kane only have so much time left. Try to maximize it, but through the draft.

Bowen Bryam

Best player and supposed to be a franchise defenseman,

Byram

Trade One of our D prospects for help this coming season.
