Who would the Blackhawks have taken at 12th overall?

Lambos. He was the safest D-pick available. Their 1st, 3rd and 4th picks were all D-men.

Pick stays the same with Sillinger. When we still held that pick our beat writers at the Athletic said it was basically trimmed down to Sillinger, Coronato and Lucius. Was also some consideration for Cossa and Wallstedt. I really wish we would have tried for Jones when his contract expired in FA and kept our assets instead. Sillinger would help the hawks pipeline significantly.
