Opinion: What The Blackhawks Offseason Should Look Like insidetherink.com/opinion-what-t… via @inside_the_rink

God I can’t wait to see him in Chicago in the fall

The debate begins who the Hawks take if they draft top two. Regardless they are going to get a stud! #blackhawks #nhl Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/win… Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/1j19Yn…

With Utah falling to the Blues and the Sharks spanking the Jets, it’s all but locked the Hawk will get the Panthers 2027 first round pick.

Connor Bedard set the bar with how he trained last summer. This summer it’s time his teammates do the same. #blackhawks #NHL Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/win… Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/1j19Yn…

Random NHL fact: @utahmammoth could become the first team to not go to a single shootout in full 82 game season. The 20/21 @EdmontonOilers didn’t have a shoot out but that was a 56 game shortened season for Covid.

It’s insane how much the overtime point factored into this season. Kings are tied for 2nd fewest regulation wins and tied for 6th fewest wins. Time to change to a 3-2-1 system?

Jeff Blashill said the #Blackhawks have “a lot of work to do”. I asked him to elaborate on that. Here’s his response: “Guys have to have elite summers. For some guys, that might mean getting thicker & stronger. For some it might mean getting quicker… but that’s where it starts.

Great account if you want a great in-depth prospect breakdowns!

@RyanmcgregorCHI Looking forward to hearing how you feel about this one!

KD haters gonna have a field day with this one. #Blackhawks

According to Danny Wirtz, Kyle Davidson has been extended.

𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟏𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟓 The Hawks overcome a 3-goal deficit & win in double OT in Game 1 vs. the Predators. Scott Darling came in and stopped all 42 shots he faced 👏

@TheProspectDon @ParkerMcLean15 @DraftProHockey Was blown away when i saw him live and he keeps getting better. Hockey gods please let those lottery balls fall in our favor.

“McKenna is the total package. Elite vision paired with world class finishing ability.” New 2 minute Prospect Power Play with host @ParkerMcLean15

David Pagnotta: Re Blackhawks: They wanna start bringing in guys that can...play on the flanks, on the wings, and be complimentary pieces that work well with either Anton Frondell and or Connor Bedard - Daily Faceoff Live (4/9)

NHL defenceman drafted in 7th round since 2019: 2019 Maxence Guenette – 2GP, 0 PTS 2020 Louis Crevier – 133GP, 30 PTS Ilya Solovyov – 44GP, 12 points 2021 Joel Nystrom – 37GP, 10 PTS 2022 Abram Wiebe – 1GP, 0 PTS Kirill Kudryavtsev – ~3GP, 2 PTS It's a small list.

With the #Blackhawks set to draft no lower than 4th, the guys give their first round of prospect rankings. We will have two more rankings between now and draft day so let’s see if anything changes after the Lottery.

Something that should becoming out of the Hawks locker room too.
