You're flying solo. Hence why said close the door

Toews, Teravainen, Danault


See ya, Bolland.
- John Jaeckel

come on JJ, i love the pick, but TT is no where close to NHL ready, especially physically

I was convinced with Vasilevski after JJ mentioned him and I did some research. The 'Hawks system isn't exactly flooded with goalie prospects. Look at TB's approach. They just got Lindback from NSH, now draft a guy whom JJ thinks is pretty good. Hmmm...
- blackhawk24

Bingo!

Vasilevski would have better filled a need.

Teravainen the starting 2C in 2 to 3 years? What do they do until then?
- StLBravesFan

Vasilevski is also 2 to 3 years away. As are 98% of the players selected in the draft.

Toews, Teravainen, Danault


See ya, Bolland.
- John Jaeckel

and isnt Teravainen listed as a LW?

Player: Teuvo Teravainen
Position/2011-12 Team: LW / Jokerit
Notes: One of the best skilled forwards in the draft, but physically immature. - Bob McKenzie

For sure, He will have to add some weight !

JJ's just hyping up the prospects!

I'm just kidding.

JJ- Do you see the Hawks being active tomorrow with trades or do you think they'll wait for free agency (OR not at all... grr...)?

What other smurfs has he drafted. Krueger was a second rounder but hes drafted a lot of size and grit the last couple years.

Just saying.

5TH ROUNDER

I was convinced with Vasilevski after JJ mentioned him and I did some research. The 'Hawks system isn't exactly flooded with goalie prospects. Look at TB's approach. They just got Lindback from NSH, now draft a guy whom JJ thinks is pretty good. Hmmm...
- blackhawk24

Hopefully they can nab Subban or Dansk in round two. If one of those two fall its better for the Hakws.

Vasilevski is also 2 to 3 years away. As are 98% of the players selected in the draft.
- Blackwater13

Probably right and those holes we have now may not be wholes in 2-3 years. Gotta go best available player. End of story.

Welcome to the Blackhawks Teuvo. Looks like a steal.

Hutton
Richards
Salak
Simpson
Carruth

All in the system.

Bowman could've drafted the second coming of Sydney Crosby and 75% of the board would complain about it.
- UnnamedSource

Hey..i hope the kid pans out...but why does our GM love small Euros ? If Tom Wilson had still been on the board and Stan passed on him...i'd be coming over the counter.

5TH ROUNDER
- TrueGrit

Oh a 5th Rounder

So please gentleman explain what smurfs bowman has used High picks on. You guys crack me up

Vasilevski would have better filled a need.

Teravainen the starting 2C in 2 to 3 years? What do they do until then?
- StLBravesFan

2C @ 5-9 and a buck-160...in the playoffs? ... in the WC playoffs?!

Sorry, I was sold on JJ's logic to get the Russian goalie.

The last hyped Finn was Ruutu that the Hawks drafted, and I remeber how great of a Hawk he was!!
- ChicagoHope

Teravainen plays for the same team in Finland too

- philco28

Right Gigenson Hertl and Wilson went so you take a top 10 talent and possibly the third best talented forward on the draft.

- blackhawk24

I have teuvo at 5'11"

Geeting Bobby Ryan off the table would likely open up more trade opportunities...

Doesn't seem like Nash will happen until then...

Hutton

Salak

Carruth

All in the system.
- scorerstouch

I thought I read early this year.. Salak was gettin cut.. Is that true?

Teravainen plays for the same team in Finland too
- John Jaeckel

Do you like Teravainen over Vasilevski with that 18th pick???

History repeats itself
"Brutus had his ceasar"
"Kramden got his Norton"
"Bowman got his Smurf!"
SSSHHHEEEEEETTT!!
- wonthecup10

Really don't know much about him. Was happy for a second when I saw we got a guy who slid from the top 10 until he got up and started hugging people and he was half a foot shorter than everyone including the women.

and isnt Teravainen listed as a LW?
- FourFeathers773

He's a wing, saw him listed as a C, RW.

I like the pick, kid has elite talent. They can draft all kinds of bruisers later.
