QUESTION OF THE DAY — Which Player Mentioned In The Show Would YOU Like To See The Blackhawks Acquire This Summer? Zegras? Wahlstrom? Marner? Necas? Chycrun? Pageau?
No Zegras trade. He is going to return to form next season with a slightly better defensive game to boot. Good chance he hits 70 points.
Demidov, Demidov, Demidov!!!
Trade Seth Jones and just loss baby….for one more year………..they've come this far with the rebuild, let's really close it out with fully loaded young core (think 2025 draft) the cap space will still be there a year from now.
It’s gotta be Demidov!
I'm not a scout, but if you believe Levshunov is a cornerstone D man, you have to take him. Everyone remembers the Hawks got good after getting Kane and Toews but forget Keith and Seabrook were already there.
Really hoping KD picks Demdiov. One of the few players in the draft that has total game breaking talent. Him and bedard would be totally electric on offense and he’s average on defense already so he’s not a total 1 way player.
Demidov report is interesting Jack. What I wonder is if the Blackhawks have already made their opinion and banked on Levshunov…As I have always thought it's best to wait and hold your opinion to the last possible minute,as better to stockpile information…
Pageau , Wahlstrom and #54 back for futures
Be funny if the first pick is not Celebrini and then you take him. Never know who picks who.
100 percent Ivan Demidov
zegras sucks at hockey
Dude Dubois only played ONE season in LA
I definitely think that Zegras will thrive with a change of scenery. I would love to have him on our second line. 5.75m is definitely nothing to worry about for the next two years.
Our top 6 could be a lot of fun to watch next year:
Hall – Bedard – Kurashev
Reichel – Nazar – Zegras
We don't want Zegras, he's a disappointment
Everyone saying no wrong answer at #2-WRONG… this isn’t even close to true… levshunov is 1 of 6 D-men in approximately the same tier… he is like a B+|A- across 6 skill sets… he is high floor safe pick… Demidov is fkn singularity… I dream of the day 2 of the top 10 most skilled players in da NHL play on the same line for the next 15yrs… any other decision is an unforgivable decision… hear me Zeus, pls don’t let us screw dis up
I am so sick of all this Artyom love… is this fkn jokes…. I’m just sick of it
Alex vlasic, kevin korchinski, ethan del mastro Nolan Allan Sam rinzel seth jones
Like we have a singularity like Demidov available & folks talking about Levshunov like he is da next coming of Cale Makar… bruh he ain’t even 3 tiers below Makar
annoying face, cover it with a bag or wear a mask
In my perfect draft hawks take demidov at 2 and either move up from 18 and take best available hopefully RD but if not take another top forward and if they stay at 18 take Stian Solberg there unless he’s taken, I don’t mind levshunov but I prefer demidov
Demidov easy
No Zegras
Brady T-Chuck
The Blackhawks better take Demidov , you can't pass on an offensive talent like him !!
