(News Article)
Hello all -
As a new member and long-time Hawks fan, I thought I would take the initiative to share a recent Tribune article featuring VP (of amateur scouting) Mark Kelley’s weigh in on Top Draft Prospects for 2019:
Blackhawks' search for the No. 3 pick began long before they moved up in the draft lottery
Seven prospects of interest are spoken about by Kelley in some detail and the article perhaps offers a window into the potential internal discussions being held by Hawks’ scouting and managerial staff.
Bowen Byram - “Great transition game, pushes the pace.”
Peyton Krebs - “He has a great motor, a great compete level.”
Dylan Cozens - “He is a big, powerful centerman. Great skater, great competitor.”
Kirby Dach - “Great set of hands, very, very smart, aware hockey player.”
Vasili Podkolzin - “He’s physically strong, plays a lot of the game inside the dots.”
Alex Turcotte - “A 200-foot game, you just know what you’re going to get.”
Trevor Zegras - “Great skater, great vision. Makes plays.”
I apologize if this article has already been posted. Moderators, if you feel this is not worthy of its own thread, please feel free to merge with a pre-existing thread.
Regards,
Espo
