Being in the war room before the draft must be crazy. TV analysts and “scouts” at home have their idea of what going to happen on draft day but I always wanted to know what the guys in the room know. Barrett Hayton, Vitali Kravtsov and Zadina’s fall were a surprise to me. I knew there was a chance for them to go top 10. It sounds to me like they were really surprised with the Hayton pick. I had Hayton at 13 on my rankings to Dallas but I knew he’d go higher in the actual draft. Kravtsov i saw as a guy that could crack the top 10 and TV analysts said similar things but it sounded after like all the teams knew he’d go top 10. Veleno’s fall surprised me a lot too and when I heard the hawks announce that they’d select a Drummondville player I was happy because I was sure it would be Veleno. Although I wasn’t surprised that we liked Bueadin. I had him at 32.
Undersized d man he might be a good player but the offensive defenseman is not what they need. Hawks just took the best d on paper. Should have taken a solid player that could help fill out roster not a luxury player.
Wow a shocker he was around . thanks Arizona and habs . now go learn hawks style and hopefully see you on Madison soon . good picks last two yrs . we all know you win from within . with this young core plus seasoned veterans could be fun . congrats to Stan and all his scouts . tweak the team on the fly . first 20 gms measuring stick . ok lets rock and roll fellas
Good choice for the future but with the “One Goal” mentality, he doesn’t fit in right away. I was hoping for Wahlstrom, Bouchard or Dobson but hearing that Adam could be the next Karlsson is definitely promising. Regardless, in 3 years our top 4 of Boqvist, Jokiharu, Mitchell, and Beaudin will be one of the best corps in the league. However, as for right now, with the way the Hawks are built currently I just don’t see them going anywhere. If they do crack the playoffs it’ll be on a wild card and I would say if they make it to the second round that would be a shocker. Still, Mark Kelly and the Hawks scouts are some of the best in the NHL and I have full faith that, while winning in the Kane and Toews era is done, the next group of Hawks will take the reins.

Good pick. Nice to see them invest heavily in guys that fit today’s style of play. Lots of right shots too, gotta get those when you can.
Not a fan of Chicago but they got a steel
They could have had Quinn hughes
Over rated player, 2nd best D in the draft my ass..,.
and he just got called up today!
Love Adam, great smile! He could be a future superstar!
Oh Quinn Hughes
"I'd take my brother" so cuteeeeeeeee
i want him back this instant
