Chicago Blackhawks 2025-26 Centennial Season

[jersey cubs fan]

They made it official 

so before any additional trades, likely at least one, the hawks have in the next three drafts:

4 firsts

7 seconds

Plus an extra fourth. 
as they bring in more and more of their prospects they will need to make contract decisions sooner rather than later and by 29/30 they may need to make some rough decisions. These 11 picks can be very helpful for backfill once they move on from a bunch of this current batch of prospects.

 

but more likely than not they will be looking to make trades of draft picks for players at least by the lead up to the 2028’draft, if not sooner. I would not be surprised if they get another ‘27 or ‘28 pick from whoever they trade next. And other GMs are probably going to be fine dealing picks further out on the time horizon.

Another frustrating come from ahead loss last night. It helps their lottery status but not their “let’s see these young guys take a step forward” status. Florida also lost in a scrappy affair at the devils. Florida, NJ, Winnipeg and Chicago are all bunch together in the bottom half of the top ten area for the draft lottery. Florida keeps their pick if it’s top ten, with chicago then taking an unprotected 2027 1st. Everybody expects Florida to improve next year with Barkov back from knee surgery, but that roster is old and becoming perpetually banged up. So who knows where they’ll next next April. 
 

Ben Pope wrote that Boisvert is expected to sign soon with BU season winding down. Not exactly breaking news but he and Frondell could he playing in the NHL this month. Boisvert is a maybe a top 6 guy at best, but probably not a huge difference maker. I think he can be a valuable guy if he makes it to a second nhl contract, but I don’t see home being a longterm contributor with several other forwards ahead of him in the pecking order.

Jason Dickenson and Colton Dach to, you guessed it, EDM for Mangiapue and a protected (top 12) FRP in 2027. 

Bowman is so bad at his job.

Make it 5 firsts and 7 seconds in the next three drafts. 
 

if Florida ends up top ten this years that’s 3 firsts in 2027, just begging to trade two of them for some established scoring threats 

 

but they’ll be happy to take some guys that won’t go pro until 29/30

Foligno to Minnesota where he’ll play with his brother, and against the Blackhawks twice this month. 
 

Bedard and bertuzzi will wear the A. 
 

nobody gets a C until Connor gets it next year, imo.

Foligno is likely to retire this off-season, so this is a very nice gesture of Kyle Davidson to trade Nick to Minnesota and let him potentially finish his career playing with his brother.

I would like to see the wild flame out in the first round of the playoffs to spoil Quinn Hughes’ impression of the team

It's legitimately amazing how often I see them leading in the 2nd or 3rd period and I come back and they've lost. 

[jersey cubs fan]

I’m guessing Utah is not very happy with that penalty call in overtime. At least the Blackhawks got a win.

Boisvert signed

Probably not much to get excited about here as he had a really disappointing sophomore season and was recently benched. Another guy for a bottom 6 role

Crevier scores the fastest goal Of the season. 
 

that’s good 

Minnesota scores early and often to take a 3-1 lead into the first intermission. 
 

that’s bad

greene scores in the second to make it 3-2

thats good 

Chicago fails to score on the backup goalie who was pressed into duty but only faced two shots

thats bad

Bedard sets up Nazar for a beauty to tie the game and send to overtime

That’s  good 

Chicago fails to capitalize on some good chances and lose it after spending 2.5 minutes in their own end with no legs 

thats bad 

[jersey cubs fan]

Bedard with a beauty of an unassisted game winning goal and Chicago battles to maintain a 2-1 regulation win in Minnesota which is the first time since forever ago that they haven’t lost in OT to the wild

I think COVID killed it, but there used to be a bar on Eagle Street in DT ST Paul and a Bears bar just down the street on 7th that both knew me as BB. Bears Blackhawks.

Frondell is on Bedards line with Ryan Greene and should be getting PP times. Burakovsky down to the 3rd line which is just about his ceiling 

 

Lardis on second line with Bertuzzi and Nazar. 

[jersey cubs fan]

Lardis scores again. He may be a legit top 6 forward.

Korchinski was recalled to take Levshunov’s place 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Frondell scored his first goal. Averaging 1 ppg.

[17 Seconds]

with calgary's win, the hawks will have the second best odds in the lottery
