Blackhawks Win Draft Lottery

good for them.

for a franchise that is so bad, and an original six franchise at that, id just like to see them improve.

chicago stumps me, on paper they look like a good team, this year injuries really hurt their potential.

Esposito won't even be taken in the top ten. He has MAJOR attitude problems, and his work ethic is awful. Most project him to go ~15th.

If they take Esposito first overall, they prove once again what a joke they are.

I'd trade out of the pick, since the draft is awful this year, and there's no surefire franchise player. If I had to use the pick though, I'd take Kane.

Same here. The only thing worrying people about Kane is his size. But seeing what guys like Briere, St.Louis and Gionta have done, the new NHL allows smaller players to excel. Kane will thrive playing with Havlat.

first picks are overrated.

well, not always.

but i fully trust the Hawks to screw this one up.
