Ladd and Wheeler went 4-5 Dubnyk, Radulov and Smid also went towards the end of the 1st round Its always easy to armchair gm drafts, especially 5-10 years after the fact. You can pick any team in the league and say they bypassed---- and took----, so theyre idiots. Any and every team. Sorry, that was not meant to sound derisive. But every team in the league has taken players who've busted, only to have players that made it taken a few picks later.

Barker definitely was the consensus 'best if the rest' at the time, iirc.

one could point blame at hawks for mismanaging barker too ? heck, the wild took him for leddy(and kim jonsson), seemed to work out in the end.

Even Ladd at 4 didn't blossom until he came to the Hawks for Ruutu (I think it was Ruutu).
Wheeler had me thinking what the Bruins would be like now with no cap and some patience, what with them initially having wheeler and then Seguin and even a few more besides that (Thornton even).
Could say that about every team but man the Bruins moves over the years seem to stand out...and they're still good.

Barker woulda made it, but was too tall to play here.

Lose for Hughes (Luke). Kid is draft eligible in 3 years.

Lose for Hughes (Luke). Kid is draft eligible in 3 years. I'd be ok for Hughes, Kakko, Dach. Podkolzin or if you can't escape Swedish D, Broberg (way too big at 6'3"-200). Hawks are destined for Top 3, 4, 5.

Back to back wins and the Hawks are losing a lot of lottery balls. This time it's the Devils moving past the Hawks, and Detroit is next.
A 5th overall pick won't turn this franchise around, and they do need a complete 180, not a minor re-tool.

Hawks will end up drafting Broberg around 9.

Hawks will end up drafting Broberg around 9. Just one Top Prospect game, but I liked Cozens better than Dach.

Cozens and Dach will be long gone by the time the Hawks draft.

The Hawks are now 9th in the West. The thankless bubble position nobody wants to end the season in. Either move up, or move down, please.
It's like getting herpes without penetration. Just stick it in completely, or don't go anywhere near it at all.
