Équipe: 2023-24 Blackhawks de Chicago

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

1 OVR: Bedard
19 OVR: I think you’re making a mistake if you trade the pick. I’d hold onto it. This is a deep draft that will help the rebuild. I think drafting your future 2C or an elite winger that can play alongside Bedard is the right call. You can’t really go wrong, but it depends on roster philosophy. (Build down the middle vs. Build a Line)

The Four Second Round Picks

I would trade a second pick to move up into the late first. Using CHI 2nd and NYR 2nd for example and getting a third 1st round pick would be a great way to weaponize your extra picks. I’d take a RHD defensemen in the late first and try to find a long term partner for Korchinski. There’s going to be a lot of defensemen taken in the back end of the first.

I think any Blackhawk fan would be happy with 3 Firsts. I’d recommend taking two forwards and a defensemen. Stay on path with the rebuild and the cups will arrive in due time.

Congrats on Bedard btw, he’s going to look sick in a Hawks jersey. Should be competitive in 2025 or 2026.
