Next Season and the Hawks draft

Team: 2020-21 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: May 9, 2020

Published: May 9, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

No CBO and flat cap.... Tough spot to be in, but this is probably the most likely scenario.

Blackhawks Draft inclusive of trades made below.

#9 OA - Cole Perfetti - LW. I think he's going to drop a few spots because of his skating ability. His hockey IQ, vision, playmaking are top notch, but he's not the fastest player.
Pick #52 - Martin Chromiak - RW - I think this is a high risk high reward pick. He's on the same like as Shane Wright. How much does that help him??? He's got a good shot regardless and his motor is high. It's worth it IMO.
Pick #55 - Jan Bednar - G - It's no secret that the Hawks need to find their starting goalie for the future. Jan is a 6'4" solid G prospect. He'll need time to develop, but he's one of the better goalie prospects this year.
Pick #71 - Jack Finley - Tall Center Prospect. Needs a few years in Spokane to really develop. He'll likely need to be with speed wingers, but he's tall, strong, and not afraid of going to the hard nose areas for sure.
Pick #78 - Nico Daws - G - Yes, another G. I prefer NOT to take any goalies in the 1st round. If another teams wants to risk that...fine. I do however believe in numbers for G prospects. Nico Daws was in Hawks prospect camp last year. He's been on their radar for a while. I think they'll draft him a bit earlier than projected.
