LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Nice move by the Rangers trading up for Korpikoski. Same goes for NJ, trading up for Zajac. Mesarosz (sp?) is gone, Ottawa takes him. If I'm the Hawks, trade up for Schremp right now. I don't care that he has character issues, that can be changed, they said his talent is amazing... the thing about rudolov and shremp gave me flashback to a pick in the first that the hawks made several yrs ago...................... ty jones.

LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 man i am listening to mckeen's live draft and they do not know that they have a live mike and anyone who is listening is getting an ear full of behind the scene conversation. i do have to say, they do not cuss as i thought normal people would.

CWSGuy406 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Round 1 OVER! Here is where the Hawks scouts are going to make their money. FOUR SECOND ROUND PICKS. At least, AT LEAST one must be a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 beginning of the second round and there are some players there that i really like. Johannes Salmonsson is who i like, was considered to be a top 5 until a shoulder injury knock him out of the first rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 another player to look for is Roman Voloshenko a grant mulvey type player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 hawks took dave bolland....................... i don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Currently one of the hottest goal scorers in the OHL, Bolland is definitely not a one-trick pony. Although he's not the fastest nor prettiest skater, Bolland is deceptively quick and knows where to go on the ice in order to capitalize offensively. According to our scout in London: "His brains are what set him apart from others, outstanding hockey sense and play anticipation. He can beat a guy one-on-one with his hands and his feet and dig pucks out in the corners. Just a solid all-around player, an excellent penalty killer and in the last month the Knights' top player."

EvilJester99 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Johannes Salmonsson was taken 1st pick of 2nd round... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Bolland is 5 '11 and only 170... kind of small forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Bolland is 5 '11 and only 170... kind of small forward. a poor man savard was his description about a month ago in the playoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 i hope the hawks take Evan McGrath in the next pick.................... here is the hawks power forward possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Bryan Bickell is the second pick of the second round for the hawks. ???? i really don't like this pick. cherry picker. 6'3'' lw Has pretty good hands around the net, when he is near the net, which is not as often as we would like .. doesn’t work hard enough and at times a noticeable floater .. possesses a truly wonderful burst of speed .. doesn’t sacrifice his body enough .. like a piece of furniture sometimes; just stands there, especially on the backcheck .. doesn’t get rewarded with a lot of power play duty .. doesn’t have the coach’s confidence and has not been able to earn it .. upside alone should make him a solid second-round pick, but earlier would be a stretch.

LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Ryan Garlock is the third pick ... An ankle injury hampered him somewhat as Garlock took his time to get back in form, but has since been magnificent. A fine complementary player, he knows where to go at all times in order to put up points. Although he doesn't have end-to-end skills, Garlock more than compensates with excellent stickhandling moves through traffic and the ability to penetrate lanes with a nose for the net. A player with excellent hockey sense, good vision and offensive instincts, Garlock has an exemplary work ethic to boot. He'll be a win-win pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
israel4ever Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I love hockey, I feel it's is the best sport to watch live out of all the major sports. But, the Blackhawks suck, they've sucked for the last 10 years, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, at least until the Wirtz family sells the team.

LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 this is the last pick of the hawks in the second round and i am outta of here. Jakub Sindel Excellent skater; has a very smooth stride .. slips through opposing defenses due to his mobility and quickness .. agile with a nice first step .. very soft hands; handles the puck flawlessly .. very crafty; has elite-level offensive instincts .. a natural goal scorer thus far at every level who thrives in one-on-one situations .. a strong PP threat .. excellent vision and a crafty playmaker .. has shown to be pretty coachable .. surprised with some good work ethic this season; he leads by example .. there are some setbacks; defensive game has improved, but is a considerable weakness .. skinny frame hasn’t helped; Jakub isn’t very strong on the puck .. was switched from right wing to center and has coped with the change well this year .. a guy who could be an NHL sniper if he significantly strengthens his arms here is a surprise, he has 1 round talent that lasted this late in the second round, a safe pick and maybe a steal for the hawks. very surprise that he is still there at this pick. my take is that the hawks screwed up the top 2 of the 4 pick in the second round imo, i like Roman Voloshenko instead of dave bolland or bryan bickerall (sp) and Adam Pineault, Carl Soderberg instead of the other hawks pick...... but that is my opinion.

dasox24 Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 The Blackhawks really need new managment and then I'll be excited about their chance to actually compete. I mean, even if these guys that we drafted turn into damn good players, they'll either sign somewhere else when they are free agents or be traded. That's what seems to happen to any of our good players and it would probably happen to them. But, I really don't follow the Blackhawks, or hockey in general, to probably know what I'm talking about, so everything I said could be totally wrong. I don't know.

Soxfest Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 3rd pick in a 2 player draft.............typical Hawks this guy nothing to be excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 3rd pick in a 2 player draft.............typical Hawks this guy nothing to be excited about. i beg to differ, with ref to barker, he is and will be a solid #2-4 dman. this is an excellent pick considering what was available. now the 2 rounder i would agree with you, i would really like to know who had the final decision making in the 2 and 3 round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Comments? Who cares. If, and I do mean IF, he pans out they will just get rid of him when he asks for more than the federal poverty line in salary. f*** Pully and f*** Wirtz!!

Obstacle 1 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 this was definitely a two man draft, but i like barker. I was hoping that the hawks would possibly trade down and draft montoya because, although I hate his guts, he's going to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
