the Hawks have 3 centers already with skill - Toews, Schmaltz, and Anisimov- if we are going to take a center in the top 10 it will not be Veleno. that is way too high for him imo.
Our main issues on this team overall and on the power play comes from the point - we need defense and it is a mess -

they will most certainly take another defensemen or two in the first 2-3 picks if bpa. if Hughes/Smith is still there and we are picking 8-10, they 100% will be looking there. it is our most glaring need, offense being generated from the point, not another skilled center- we have those already.
I appreciate the effort but you simply do not understand the Hawks issues or needs- outside of horrible systems on special teams, they lack DEFENSE. I want the BPA for each pick, and Hawks typically do that, but seeing how bad our defense has been the past few years and how we lack a pp qb, I am happy if they need to reach a bit to solve that with Hughes or Smith.
Thanks
