I think Holtz if he’s there, you don’t hesitate. But Lundell could be a Toews replacement. Flip Strome for a Dman and I think this team can be super solid longterm.
Yeah, if the Hawks draft Lundell, then you flip strome no doubt for a top 3 LHD as our right side is pretty well solidified.
Not sure who will be better, Lundell or Dach but my money would be on Dach. Needless to say, they would be a big two way 1/2 punch on the first and second lines. For the next few years though, you'll probably have Toews, Dach, Lundell, but Toews is going to regress and slow down and end up as a 3C hopefully when we re-sign him for his last contract before he retires.
If we get Holtz, that would be amazing. Either way, I agree the Hawks are in pretty darn good position to be a solid team for awhile with Dach, Boqvist, Mitchell, Cat, Kubalik, Beaudin, Holtz/Lundell and maybe even Nylander pulls it together. Then you've got a couple other really interesting D propects like Regula and Vlasic who could really pan out.
I put together a mock draft today that I think is interesting if Sanderson jumps up into the top 6 then Holtz, Perfetti, Raymond may all be available to the Hawks if they stay at the #9 position.
