I'm a sharks fan, I was just curious of what you guys think of all the picks in general. I have to say tho, you guys put on a good production. Chicago fans are lucky to have you 👍 I have no ties to the Blackhawks but I was entertained and informed. Our teams will be seeing each other many times in the future!!
can someone tell me why we wasted 2 good 2nd round picks in the draft just to move up to draft these guys...fell like we could've waited an still got the same junk
@@beelzeebub1hage is much much better than Boisvert and vanacker lmao that’s just some biased sh*t ur on rn. Hage was project 13 Boisvert was anywhere from 20 to 35 and vanacker was a reach by 10 picks
Initially, I honestly wasn't too sure about Chicago's 1st round. I dont have the time to learn about 45+ prospects, i usually focus in on 4 to 7 players within the range of my team's picks. But after taking the morning to look into Boisvert and Vanacker, both players fill a role on the team that Chicago doesnt have too much of. I am usually enamoured with speedy, small, skilled, offensive players but Chicago has taken a ton of those swings recently. These two have the chance to become great complementary & versatile middle-six forwards. Pretty nice first round!
I wanted Demidov I just don’t like the politics behind the scenes of a team like the habs Demidov didn’t come out and say he wanted to play for them only but he did with his actions and the habs actions so much respect for Kyle Davidson for respecting the draft process and continuing to build this team go back and watch Demidov interview before the draft his face lit up to join Montreal and didn’t seem to excited to play with Bedard but hey his loss go HAWKS!!!!
Hey if you guys are reading this I really loved the coverage. I think for next year, something that could take the draft stream to another level would be having one guy watching some full game tape on the top 50-75 guys. In the Bears draft stream with Hoge and the Bulls draft stream with Will, my favorite part was hearing their own analysis of the players after each pick. By contrast, it was a little disappointing when my favorite prospect (Helenius) got picked, and the only comments outside of the Elite Prospects page was that his name sounds like an illness lol. I'm sure some of what I'm looking for is in Mario's diehard article, but without him on the stream, it's harder to tell what you guys think vs just going off what you're reading. Sorry if I came off too negative, I really do love the streams and can't wait to see more tomorrow!
Can't wait till Levshunov proves the doubters wrong. Boisvert can throw em and is going to a great collegiate program. Vanacker played the entire year with a torn labrum and still put up great numbers. Plus he's Nick Lardis teammate
It easy to be the man when you tank and collect picks. But the GM’s primary mission is to decipher good from great. Today we drafted safe picks, not special picks!
I know, he’s got size and he’s a center. It will take time for him to develop but this is why it’s crucial to keep drafting and developing young talent because when there ready to play for the team, they could become players that can be a part of doing something better than play in a regular season game.
Vanacker was a great pick. But I would have rather had Demidov, Eiserman, and Elick over Levshunov, Boisvert, and Vanacker. Our draft is completely based on proximity bias by our scouting department!
@@MrNewstyle23 eiserman was projected 2nd overall pick at the beginning of the year I said. Demidov was playing against lesser talent in the mhl this year compared to ncaa and chl. It's a known fact by any scout at the nhl level
@@KayQue-s3r I don't equate someone saying um,um,um, throughout a press conference with being intellectual. I'm very familiar with intellectual people. You and I obviously have a different definition of intellectual.
WOW, I'm pissed... There is NOTHING to be excited about here.. These are the most boring picks - safest picks - I have ever seen.. Davidson would have been better off trading the flipping picks.. There is absolutely NOTHING exceptional about Levshunov.. Now I'm not trying to bash Levshunov or Davidson, and I totally understand what Levshunov brings to the table - because he is absolutely 100% one of those pieces you need to win and be successful for a prolonged period of time, but DAMN, this one sings - and so does passing on Cole Eiserman to basically draft a Kirby Dach 2.0..... I mean IMO, I sincerely believe Levshunov could have fallen outside of the top 10 or perhaps into the Hawks lap at 18 - that's how "meh" he is... I mean in the best case scenario the Hawks got Chris Pronger/Scott Stevens or they just drafted a "poor mans" Larry Murphy.... And the #20 pick?? Grrrrrrrrr.
What do you expect, the Blackhawks win a Stanley Cup as expectations next for next season. Stan Bowman would have traded all of are draft picks and sign players to massive contracts with no cap space. Rebuilding a team is boring but it’s worth it. We are not buffalo. Davidson drafted a player that we need and that was a right shot defenseman. Also we got 2 more draft picks in the first round. Next year we have young players coming up to the NHL with free agency coming on July first. This isn’t the Blackhawks from the past it’s the Blackhawks for the future.
Kirby dach if he could stay healthy isn’t that bad at 18. Kirby gets hate because injury and went at 3. Size, skating and playmaking isn’t bad when healthy.
Kayla Davidson really fucked this one up! He's proving he is a shitty GM with no experience. He drafted Bedard, because he had to. Now he's showing what a joke he really is.
Wow about everything the Blackhawks do makes you give up? Demidov was a player that was drafted 5, so why he was not drafted 3? Maybe there were questions about if he’s ready to play in the NHL. Levshunov the best defenseman in the draft and is ready for the NHL. So say what you want to say about Davidson. We had 3 1st round picks. We’re lucky we’re still got number 2 and we have cap space also we have a healthy roster next season with young players coming up. Future is bright for this team. There’s nothing wrong with getting young defensemen. Stop hating and start being patient. We will see the cup again.
People have questions about the skill level of the MHL these days compared to before. As in Kucherov played in a much better MHL than Demidov did. The competition in the MHL is so meh. I was a Lindstrom fan and even he went over Demidov
Smart choice, I know that Demidov is a goal scorer but we were not sure if he was NHL ready. Instead we got the best defenseman in the draft and he’s NHL ready who’s right wing that the hawks need badly. We also got 2 more picks in the first round. You can’t go wrong with adding more young defenseman on a team.
@@Darrakkii Ok let’s see if this is better for you to understand if he impresses the Blackhawks in training camp he makes the team, if he doesn’t he goes to Rockford. He’s ready more than Demidov. There, is that better smartass.
@@rileyturner1880 I probably mis spoken. If Levshunov needs time to develop in college or AHL that’s fine. We got what we needed and that was a defenseman who plays right wing.
Great job with the draft coverage CHGO. And the new merch is so cool.

LIKE for Levshunov
Solid draft. I like Levshunov but he shouldn’t have been the 2nd pick. This fact will be clear in two years.
@@MrNewstyle23
Choice may be even less clear in 2 years lol
@@dangshnizzle6929 If Demidov does what I think he will do, it will be completely evident Levshunov was the wrong decision by 25-26 season.

Montreal won the draft, Hawks lost the draft.
Recruiting class champions do not give you championship ask Ohio state wrestling.
Dumb Take , Demidov could be 120point player , Levshunov could be very similar to Drew Doughty , Hage doesnt equal Boisvert and Vanacker , SORRY

Defense wins cups. The oilers and leafs both have one thing in common, they are top heavy on offense with no Defense.
Tampa Bay just traded Sergachev. Well this a shocking trade in the NHL
Also, Marek Vanacker would not have been on the board at #34
so they took a 3rd line center over Vanacker at 18th when Vanacker is better? that makes even less sense🤡💀
@@THEGUARDSSSS Vanacker has a higher ceiling. He will need a long time to reach his potential. Boisvert is more of a high floor low risk player.
Draft night overreactions is pure joy to me.
Can't wait till Levshunov proves the doubters wrong. Boisvert can throw em and is going to a great collegiate program. Vanacker played the entire year with a torn labrum and still put up great numbers. Plus he's Nick Lardis teammate
Davidson has been the man up until this draft. Guess we see what happens

@@MrNewstyle23 also he is NHL ready, if we draft Demidov, we would not know if he would be ready for the NHL. Can’t go wrong with defenseman

Today, Kyle Davidson took quantity over quality. Solid draft. Not special! We should have drafted Demidov and Eiserman.
Many see Eiserman as someone who will legit never played significant minutes in the NHL
clearly they went quality over quantity since they gave up 2 picks to get 18 and 2 picks to get 27
