Sujet: Build for Bedard
Not bad. Just my personal opinion on some things.

Find a different veteran defenseman to sign in Smiths place, I'm not bringing on the dude that broke Bedard's jaw like <a href="/users/slickwilly" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@slickwilly</a> mentioned. If you sign Zaitsev it should be as the 7th defenseman and in his spot rotate all the young defenseman who are on the cusp of being NHLers. Commesso is not ready to be a backup yet. I think he needs to spend another year in Rockford and hopefully gets called up for a couple games here and there. No need to trade Donato. He is a good 4th liner. Using a retention slot will only leave them with 1 retention slot come the deadline and it will be more useful then if they want to trade Hall, Smith, Athanasiou, or Raddysh.

Sujet: Mock Draft without Coming Soon Explanations

I shouldn't have said "no way" to the hawks drafting Howe at 19 because it is a possibility whether I agree with it or not. I have revisited Howe since I last reviewed his game in December and think he likely lands somewhere in the 20s. So maybe not the largest stretch but 19 is certainly on the higher side.

The way I see the hawks draft playing out is they will draft the best available player with their own first. If that pick is a forward then they will draft a RD with the Tampa pick. If that pick is a defenseman, they will draft a forward with the Tampa pick. This factors in big time of picking Howe with the Tampa pick or any forward for that matter.

One other possibility if the hawks want Howe and don't think they can get him with their own 2nd is moving up that pick. The hawks have a ton of draft picks since 2022 going forward. It's time to get quality not quantity with some of these picks so I would not be surprised if we see Davidson move up the Tampa pick or our second rounder.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Hopefully none of this is happening, aside from the Reichel extension. Vlasic is going to get significantly more than that. KD isn't dipping into free agency, and I doubt most of these guys even make it to free agency. Even aside from all that, there isn't a young up and coming NHLer I want less than Zegras. Reinhart and Guentzel would be great if we were ready to end the rebuild, but CHI is far from ready to add. All this would do is create roadblocks and likely get us stuck in mediocrity for a long time. Also, if CHI is gonna win another lottery, I think I'd rather it be the 2025 draft. Hagens is better than Celebrini, in my opinion. Or, at least, he is going to be.</div></div>

I really wish I would stop seeing Zegras to the hawks on this site. Just simply not the type of player I’d want to bring in.
