I am leaning towards taking Dach ahead of most of the options. He seems like a first line center to me. From what ive seen, im not convinced he has elite wheels.

The question is, is it worth trading down a spot or two to get who they want or could any of them come off the table at 3, 4, or even 5? I'd hate for stain to trade down a few spots and then not get his guy, which would be very "Stan" imo. If they're not taking Byram (which would be stupid) then you know there are teams looking to trade up to get Byram. Why not trade down 2 or 3 spots and still get the guy you want and extra assets? Thats fine if Byram is the consensus #3, but he isnt. Theres no guarantee if you trade down, that the team you trade with isnt going to take your target. If youve got 3-4 guys youre willing to take, trade down. If youve got 1 target, and theres no consensus, you take your target.

The slow less offensively talented version of Shantz!

Per NBC Sports Chicago..
With the NHL Draft one day away, let's look at who the experts are saying will go No. 3 overall to the Blackhawks:
Kevin Allen, USA TODAY: C Alex Turcotte
Craig Button, TSN: C Alex Turcotte
Adam Kimelman, NHL.com: C Alex Turcotte
Sam Kosentino, Sportsnet: C Trevor Zegras
Steve Kournianos, Sporting News: D Bowen Byram
Guillaume Lepage, NHL.com: C Dylan Cozens
Mike Morreale, NHL.com: C Alex Turcotte
Chris Peters, ESPN: C Alex Turcotte
Corey Pronman, The Athletic: D Bowen Byram
In total: five experts picked Turcotte, who led the way; two experts picked Byram, one expert picked Cozens; and one expert picked Zegras. The Blackhawks clearly have options at No. 3. And we will find out soon enough who it will be.

I'd be ok with any of those but Cozens. Good prospect but not at 3.

After reading that I’m convinced the best move is trading down a few spots to get help on the back end.With who? I don’t care but Zegras is still going to be fantastic and is not really in the top 5 anywhere. If you can move down and at worst pick Cozens/ Zegras/Caufield/Kaliev with a dman thrown in, that makes sense. You still have Saad or Anisimov to finish your roster upgrades.

Tonight is the night.
Future franchise player puts on a Hawks jersey.
Should there be a live thread at some point?

Something tells me they've decided on their guy. If they believe he's a "sure thing" they won't trade down and risk losing their guy.

Would the scouts recommend the BPA or someone who best fits in Stan's masterplan?
