I’ll go into all this more soon but as I said before the hawks would be locked into that 12th drafting position.... but here is the wrinkle ugh....
So technically they’ll draft 13th (90% odds that is true) as coyotes will draft 12th but it’s forfeited.... and with the new rules in place that means if the hawks win the lottery (2% chance) the highest they could move up is 3rd. So the way I read the odds it’s this for the hawks:
90% 12th
6% 13th
2% 3rd
2% Viv
Like 0.1% 14th lol NB
So basically 12th as I mentioned... in a year where there is so much uncertainty know this: Jesper Wallstedt will be drafted higher than you think.

Re: END OF SEASON RECAP / ANALYSIS / DRAFT
News and notes:
Finish prospect Henrik Borgstrom just signed a 2 / 2m deal for the next 2 seasons and is now officially in the fold. He had a good not great year in the finish elite liga.
Prospect Reichel Eisbaren team just won the DEL cup as champs. That’s big time! He was a really good second line wing all year.
Barrat / Alytbarmakkan play well down the stretch in Rockford.... they were clearly next up if the season went on.
Overall some good news today.
Reading the tea leaves have to think Strome and/or Zadorov days are numbered here.... either exposed in expansion, let go via trade, or simply demoted in role to healthy scratch / bottom pair - line guys now.
Some guys on the team have now solidified themselves so Strome and Z may be expensive/ expendable and that’s just the fact of it.

Re: END OF SEASON RECAP / ANALYSIS / DRAFT
Ok wow total crazy ending with the flames winning 2/3 to end and tie hawks in points but breaker to hawks as flames have more reg wins
That wins hawks now move up a spot to 11th and thus have the last long shot at #1 under new rules
So that’s awesome
Also we sign Goalie Arvid Soderblum… actually pretty good in Liga and has nhl potential at maybe a backup level but still great signing
Biggest question marks into off season are 100% Strome and Zadorov. At this point I actually think Strome may be exposed to Seattle and Zadorov offered low and could just see what the market does for him. He at best gets a 3/12 and at worst a 1/3.5 so my thinking is he signs a 2/7.5 but I just don’t know if that’s the hawks
Kalynuk is a keeper
Mitchel still much to prove
Boqvist needs to stay healthy
