Two things 1...do not draft the Russian 2... no clear cut delineation between Byram and maybe 3 f's Do any of them have a better chance of becoming top line F's than Byram does of becoming a #1 Dman? Not convinced. Also, if Byram tops at a #2 guy, but still top pair (say Seabrook), do you take that over a guy becoming a top 6 F? I think the odds are with taking Byram, as is the risk/reward. Yeah. There are realistically 3-4 players the Hawks can choose at #3, that nobody could really blame them for drafting. Let's see how good their scouts really are. I've been impressed the last few seasons.

John Davidson (NYR Prez) says they will by happy to take either Hughes or Kakko....Stan, Byram will be there.

Who is the best skater among Byram, Turcotte, and Cozens? That's what the NHL is in 2019. You need guys that can skate. It's also why Strome will likely top out as a # 2 simply because he looks like he's constipated out there.

Lazerus is reporting that the Hawks are very high on Caufield. Considering he's tiny, that seems on brand for Stan. Seems like a reach to take him a 3 though. Maybe Stan is thinking about trading down?

Maybe Stan is thinking about trading down? Let's hope not. If the Hawks decide to take a winger over a potential top pairing D-man or a potential first line center, people deserve to get fired.

Maybe Stan is thinking about trading down? To add to the quandary, during an NHL Network interview, Turcotte said he likes to model his game after CaptJonny. I hope Stun didn't hear that. Again, there isn't a (Hawks) Top pair D prospect out there.
BYRAM

Got nothing against picking Caufield (except I want Byram!), but not at 3. If Stan is set on him he better trade down and get an asset he can use right now, otherwise it's a fail. A big one.

I mean, the Hawks don't have any top line prospects, certainly not a top line center prospect, no? I have no issue with Byram, but let's not pretend that the Hawks have oodles of forwards prospects pushing to make the team.

But Toews/Kane are 30-31....Seabs/Duncs are 35-ish...D(Top line) is a greater need.

I'm very tempted to put a lot of the cnotes on it... since it seems much much much more likely than a single sporting event. Where some act of god can happen I just don't see the consensuses #1 not going #1.

But when the consensus isnt clear, you have to factor in needs. From what ive seen Byram, Turcotte and Cozens have all garnered more favor than most at #3.
