Chicago Blackhawks Draft Night Day 1 Recap
What a day for the Chicago Blackhawks...
Before the Draft:
Before the draft even starts, the Blackhawks drop a couple bombshells.
Some Reactions to the trade:
This is not a good return at all for DeBrincat. I understand the Hawks have completely committed to a full rebuild, and committing to a plan is a good thing, but this just isn't equal to DeBrincat's value.

My immediate review of the DeBrincat deal is I’m grumpy about it, which means the Sens won.

Kyle Davidson on th DeBrincat trade: "It was an incredibly difficult decision to trade a player of Alex’s caliber. We feel as if this move sets the Blackhawks up for future success by giving us additional flexibility and future talent."
