I know we took a D earlier, but I'd love to get Bodie....but this center is a good consolation prize.

Might as well go all in on D .


Buy forwards in FA

Akil Thomas, Velano, Ylonen, Valeno? Don't over think this thing, take Velano!!

I told ya'a really good player was gonna be there...
and they take yet another midget defender. omigosh!


LOL

Hopefully he allows the scouts to make this pick? They are short centers in the whole organIzation and this is a 2 way guy, honest as they day is long! Take Velano.

They tricked me.

wow

Holy cow....LMAO.....

3 of the 10 scouts had this guy in the top 31....another reach. Bowman is rolling.

2 dudes for Hartman.

Yea.

I Quit!!!!!!

So the 27th pick was the same as the 8th, just on the left side. Guess we don't need a center?

patterns his game after Jake Gardiner

Good luck with that.

Pronman:


57. Nicolas Beaudin, D, Drummondville-QMJHL

Oct. 9, 1999 | 5-foot-11 | 175 pounds

GP: 68 | Goals: 12 | Points: 69 | Shoots: Left

Skating: 50
Puck Skills: 55
Physical Game: 40
Hockey sense: 60

Beaudin has been a top producing defenseman in the QMJHL the past few years and a key player for Drummondville, one of the best teams in the QMJHL this past season. The first thing that stands out about Beaudin is his hockey sense. He’s a very composed and aware defender with the puck who makes plays with pace and displays quality vision. He makes a ton of good decisions, not showing much panic in his game and was a quarterback for a power play filled with talented players. He’s not a super flashy puck rusher and, although his skating and hands are fine, I wouldn’t call him a dynamic player. Despite that, he was still an excellent power play QB and projects to be so as a pro. His IQ allows him to be OK defensively at the junior level, although given he’s a smaller defenseman and lacks elite mobility, he’ll need to get a lot stronger to defend at the higher levels.

I sure hope Bowman has a plan going forward. Looks like it's going to be excuse me hockey instead of in you face, hard nose hockey

Bowman offically 2nd worst GM in NHL

Congrats!!

reading a bit i like the pick loading up on D is never a bad thing.

Finally chic reporter asks Bowman a direct question about Crawford... says Crawford will be ready for camp.

even more curious you draft a Victor Mete clone and you already drafted one small defender and this one also shoots left handedBode wilde RD

I Quit!!!!!!

I'm off to study up on the new Hawks!!

Told you he wasn't gonna pick either of the guys you wanted. LOL....could probably traded down on this one and still gotten this player. MBA baby out of his league.

Commentators are prattling about how Wilde and Velano are so good at this point...

Basixally they took 2 Nik Leddys right ? Both dudes couple years away.

Said "we expect"....Crow hasn't been on the ice since 2017, no one has reported a damn thing about him. I am sure Hawks hubris and arrogance believes a healthy Crow can backstop this team to 109 points yet again.

Mostly because they are drafting at 18 year olds.


If the backed it to 19 yrs old, it would much more defined....but the lawsuits made it 18 yr olds.

spot on

Somebody remind Bowman that hockey is a contact sport. He didn’t ever play so I’m not surprised every (frank)ing guy he drafts is 170lbs or Less
