Isles have stole the first round in my opinion with those 2 picks!!

So far, indeed! Good for Isles fans, they've been suffering for a long while.

Drafted.

Never ceases to amaze me how arrogant this organization is. Instead of taking Best available they draft another Swede for the Bowman’s to please themselves to.

Respectfully BB, to hell with the rankings. If my scouts say Boqvist I'm ok with it even though I highly disagree with it....... No doubt the kid has the skill though.

How you think the AZ fans feel with Hayton picked 10+ spots early at 5? Gotta trust the scouts.

Scouts and taking Best available. They took an organizational need which imo they have all 4 of. C, f, d, and goalie.

MY favorite...I guess even though so many of the draft guys didn't even have him as high as m#27, Dallas saw what I saw...now i am even more pissed!

What spot isn't an organIzational need? If the Swede was the best available on their board we have to live with that ........ Anyone that has the Athletic find the article that has advanced stats on the top 20 prospects. See how the Swede compares.

I'm told the Blackhawks #27 overall pick is "being shopped quite a bit." The Hawks are looking for young forward help. Maybe not household names as of yet, but ascending talent with long futures ahead. Stay tuned.

We pick again in 15 slots...curious to see if the hawks balance back to defenders with the phethora of good developing defenders in this class.

Lindholm or keep it to get one of the bigger d-man towards the bottom.

The St. Viator Lions average 6’1’’ . They could push the Hawks around.

- SteveRain

Or they picked the guy they thought was the best? Like, he's most definitely not the most ready, but he may have the highest ceiling of the d-men not named Dahlin. I was hoping they'd get Hughes because he's like Boqvist but not quite as off from the show.

No idea if Boqvist will end up being the best, just think it's wild so many are dismissing him. Kid is only 17, he's got some growing to do and then we'll see I guess.

He is only 17 - still likely has a growth spurt in him.

Let’s see long terms who this kid plays out vs those after him.

All hawks drafted players are future hofs.....I quickly I forget.
