1st round picks last 5 years

[DontToewzMeBro]

Nick Schmatlz-20th
Ryan Hartman-30th
Teuvo Teravainen-18th
Kevin Hayes-24th
Mark McNeill-18th
Phillip Danault-26th

In the next 1-3 years who do you envision making the team, I know Hayes May not be a Hawk, it's almost a deathbed in Chicago for these guys, I mean, they got to be a bit annoyed vets like Zus/Versteeg/ were taking a possible spot, granted depth is depth.

For Sure TT, Hartman and McNeill maybe.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I expect TT , Danault and Hartman to join Hawks fulltime in next 3 years

McNeill will get looks probably but it wouldn't surprise me if he is traded in coming years as part of package to improve team

 

[Sarava]

Agree with BWC's list - though I'll add one more.

It wouldn't surprise me if Schmaltz makes it in 3 years (even if he might not be ready in a perfect world). I don't think they want to let him go the full 4 years at ND... with his brother probably being a St. Louis Blue before then.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I expect Hawks will let him stay at ND 4 years if he wants. They didn't rush Johns or Hayes

Don't expect them to rush kid if he desires to stay at ND

 

[x Tame Impala]

I was under the impression they drafted a NCAA player in the 1st round so he can mature a bit in college, and not in Rockford, so as to not add to the prospect logjam there already.

 

[Sarava]

They can do that...but they run the risk of him pulling a Kevin Hayes on them.

Kid was a big blackhawks fan growing up. Highly doubtful he does that.

My impression as well.

I'd be surprised to not see Schmaltz spend all four years there, unless he begins seriously outclassing everyone in a big way.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Hawks will be in a different place in 4 years anyways
Also Danault has great hair. he should be on th tam oson.

Completely agree... Danault will happen- when Kruger IS NO LONGER AFFORDABLE.
Schmaltz could only jump Danault w/ incredible years(s) at ND... which could happen.
But still - the Hawks will most likely need a cheap replacement for 16 sooner than Schmaltz's coming out year!

Not a McNeill fan.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I'd be astonished if Teravainen isn't a full time NHLer in the next couple years, if not by the end of this season, I'm expecting Hartman and Danault to crack the roster fulltime in some way in the relatively near future, I still have expectations for McNeill, and it's way too soon to tell with Schmaltz. And Hayes should make it, but with another team.

 

[ColdSteel2]

We're Hawks fans. Anything positive Hayes does with another team is a negative for us. "Hayes just scored to beat the Hawks with 2.2 seconds left in regulation!!! Look how good our prospect pool is!" Yeah, no.

 

[Hawkaholic]

So our prospect pool isn't good because of one entitled ****** of a prospect?

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

It doesn't say anything about our prospect pool. It does speak to our scouting.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Hartman and teuvo are the two I'm most optimistic about.

 

[HockeySauce]

Teravainen will be a Hawk, at the latest, the start of the 2015-16 season.

I could see one of Hartman, McNeill or Danault making the Hawks in 2015-16 too.

I don't think Schmaltz will spend 4 years at College. Don't forget, the Hawks wanted to sign both Johns and Hayes after their Junior seasons. I think Schmaltz will spend 3 years at ND, and sign with the Hawks after his Junior season. I could see him making the Hawks in the season following him leaving College.

the others all have a good Chance.

I hope McNeil burst though the scene and becomes a poor mans Getzy.

I agree. I feel he's going to be a three-year college guy and leave and go pro after his junior season.

Do we have another Frolik in the system I don't know about, or are you just having a moment of wishful thinking.

Hey, in 3 years he will sign a 1.3m deal to win another cup here..okay.

I was not very happy with the blackhawks draft this year. I was much happier last year. If I did it myself I would have taken Ho-sang or Kemp with the 1st pick. Glover with the 62 pick and Anton karrelson with the late 3rd, I think We did not get anymore talent by trading up and really reached with both our late 3rd picks, I think they both might have been there in the 5th round. Getting a 3rd for Bollig was big but I'm not sure we turned those into prospects that look like they could play in the NHL. IMO.
