The Chicago Blackhawks were neither winners nor losers during Tuesday’s NHL draft lottery.
Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson responds to questions after the second day of the NHL draft on June 29, 2023, in Nashville, Tenn. “We’re really excited about how things ended up tonight,” Hawks general manager Kyle Davidson said. “It wasn’t No. 1, but for us, the way we see this draft and what we’re able to acquire at the draft in June, No. 2 is a very big win. We’re really excited.
“I can’t wait to dig in with our amateur staff next week to start the process of getting that board finalized or on the road to being finalized. Glad to know where we’re picking finally. It’s always so much speculation all the way. To be at No. 2 and kind of stick and hold our spot, I’m really happy.
While the Hawks likely will miss out on the Boston University forward, they’ll have a host of elite prospects from which to choose. Many pundits peg Russian winger Ivan Demidov as the most likely No. 2 pick. The Hawks will pick second for only the second time in franchise history. They selected forward Andy Culligan in 1965.
The Hawks have eight other selections in this year’s draft, including another first-rounder and three second-round picks.Elizabeth Holmes’ projected release from prison is moved closer
