And the Chicago Blackhawks select... Kirby Dach - On The Clock: Season 3, Episode 4 

and we are happy with it

Best choice

Blackhawks fans kinda got some tunnel vision leading up to the draft. A few commentators chose Byram or Turcotte and then that storyline started feeding off of itself until we fans started feeling like it HAD to be one of those two. I didnt know what to think about the pick at the time because like everyone else I was sure it would be Turcotte or Byram- but now I'm pretty thrilled.

lol

well you called it

There were rumors of trading #3 and something else to vancouver for Brent seabrook and pick #10

@@hagelsbagels34 Those rumors were denied by the organization

Smaller, less defensive upside, and too much of a pest to be likable

Turcotte’s stock dropped. Why not Byram? You don’t turn down a potential number one defenseman. No matter how loaded your organization is.

@@Teabagonyou Who would you rather have on your team Getzlaf or Eric Johnson? Kirby is compered to Getzlaf and Johnson was also the best defenseman in his draft but that doenst mean you should go for that! you go for the player that fits your organization

SickStick39 Byram wasn’t just the best defenseman in the draft. He’s going to be ready to play good minutes in Colorado this year, and his ceiling is through the roof. We could’ve really used a solid left-handed d-man. With that said, the more I learn about Dach, the more I feel better about the pick.

@@jakobmeranda6117 his ceiling was through the roof just becouse he was the best D in the draft.. and his stock rose at the and of the year becouse of media he was way lower on all the draft rankings at the start of the year and last year. yea he will probably gonna be a good player especially on that colorado team with Makar as his partner but i am gonna trust our profesional scouting team over some internet articles and media hyping

eetu vertainen His stock dropped. Why take Turcotte when you can take Dach?

@@Teabagonyou Dropped in what way? JC

Turcotte has injury issues

Jamie H how many superstars in the nhl today that came from the whl? Leon draisaitl is the only super star caliber that I can think of

Luke K the Hawks are my third favorite team

You're right. They needed to shore up their blue line, but they allowed Bowen Byram to fall to my Avs. Thank you, Stan Bowman, you idiot you.

S Choudhry also the AVS are my second favorite team so I was happy

@@sportsfan7429 lol. My top 3 are Avs, Sharks, and Capitals.

Labrador 67 huh?

i know =]

Dach is better lmao

@@LLoweGovna Maybe. Dach played well last season. The good news for Kings fans is Turcotte maybe the Kings 5th best prospect. 1. Byfield 2. Gabe Vilardi 3. Arthur Kaliyev 4. Samuel Fagemo 5. Alex Turcotte So keep your one decent prospect and gloat about it all you want. The Kings will win another cup by 2022, the hawks not so much. The Kings are ranked #1 and Chicago is ranked #23 in propect rankings. thehockeywriters.com/nhl-farm-system-rankings/
