This franchise is actually doomed with these clowns unbelievable

 

[Gravity]

Blackhawks loading up with character vets after drafting elite talent. It's really that simple yet Q-tip couldn't figure it out.

 

[SwiftyHab]

HuGo: Here’s what I think of your scouting reports

We'll only find out in a few years anyway if any of these players turn out to be worth it or not, same goes for the others teams' picks.

 

[Guy Larose]

Every time there's a trade or a draft, we get this reaction from people who think they know better, just to come back a year or 2 later and tell us they will eat crow. Last year was the Dach trade and not picking (W)right. This year it's the draft and Newhook which are both too early to judge. Well this year we're fresh out of crow bitches and you'll get called out for your judgmental attitudes

 

[Guess]

Can't wait to see the draft day video with the internal scout meeting

 

[Twisted Sinister]

This franchise is the worst

 

[Gravity]

To know that the disgusting Blackhawks will win again before us is pukeworthy.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

I don't know why we kept half the scouting staff from the MB era.

I don't know why we are incapable of adding elite talent.

And I don't know why we expect anything to change.

 

[Miller Time]

Disappointed we don't have the Michkov lotto ticket to be excited about for the next 2-3 seasons...

but overall quite happy with the prospects we've added and Newhook.

Even moreso than last year, the outcomes draft class and how well they develop (or are leveraged for other assets) will be a good litmus test of HuGo's management skill. No reason to doubt, yet. Hope it stays that way.

Except they've mostly always been right, because this organization has been f***ing awful.

 

[CapSpace]

This draft deserves a C-. C, at best.

 

[LaP]

We'll only find out in a few years anyway if any of these players turn out to be worth it or not, same goes for the others teams' picks.

Three of the guys we drafted are 19-20 years old. You'll find out in 3-4 years max for them.

Who's been right? HuGo has been on the job for only it's 2nd draft. No way to tell yet. The Dach trade a whole lot of you were wrong. Slaf played 39 games as an 18 year old, so too early to tell. Just people jumping to conclusions way too early.

This wont be released this year.

 

[ToNedOuT]

I had to put my dog down today and the draft was underwhelming. Double sad.

But, for the draft, I remember us being a winner in the 2012 draft and it turned out to be awful so who knows.

So a bunch of wokes basically? oops..

 

[Wateredgarden]

It's not sexy, but I remember that in 2012 everyone one, even opposing teams fans, thought we won the draft.

 

[Seb]

My take : this board is salty af and will look dumb in a few months/years

 

[expy]

I mean... that's the definition of a few years.. lol

If Reinbacher doesn't end up being a Pietrangelo
