Blackhawks did not exactly have the season they were hoping. But what has been accomplished, and may not be the General Manager of Blackhawks Kyle Davidson very annoyed by obtaining another high choice to add it to his collection of possibilities.
Come to the NHL DRAFT draft on Monday, Blackhawks will discover if they will have the first, second, third, or fourth selection in June draft.
Here is everything you need to know, heading to the lottery.
Possibilities
Blackhawks ranked twenty -first in the ranking of the 32 NHL team, which means that they can rise to the first place in the lottery and number 4. They have a 13.5 % chance in winning the lottery, a 14.1 % opportunity in the second selection, an opportunity 30.7 % in the third selection and 41.7 % in choosing the number 4.

Fine print
What if Blackhawks wins the lot? For one of them, Blackhawks will not be allowed to “win” in the ywasin again until 2027 due to the league base of that no team can move to first place more than twice in five years.
There are some notes on that.
It is important to understand that winning the share means moving in the draft from the starting site. Blackhawks moved from the third choice (after ranked 30th in the normal season) to the first choice in 2023, when they took Conor Beddard. But the team can end in the 32nd position and end up with the first choice, and he will not be considered winning the share because it did not advance in the ranking. Therefore, Blackhawks can move to the first choice this year and still chooses the beginning of next year. But that would be worrying about Davidson because the completion of the last position would raise questions about the whereabouts of the organization.
Who will take Blackhawks in No. 1?
For the player who describes it in No. 1, he is likely to create some interesting conversations in the Chicago Hockey Department.
Defeenseman Matthew Schaefer is the best player in consensus in the 2025 draft. But Blackhawks has already been loaded on defense after using many early draft choices on the position during the reign of Davidson. They formulated Artyom Levshunov with the choice of No. 2 last year, Kevin Corcki with a choice number 7 in 2022 Wissam Renezel with choice No. 25 in 2022.
In addition, the 24 -year -old Blackhawks Alex Flasic, which signed a six -year extension before last season; The 22 -year -old White Kaizer, who took a step in his match last season; And many other youth payments, including Ethan del Master, Nolan Alan and Luis Carey, who played some NHL games.
Given, Davidson recently was asked about the formulation of another very high defender.
“Do we consider it?” Davidson said. “Yes, we will look at it … … We will not close any means there, right? I think the way I see the draft is not – yes, it is the team building, of course – but you have one day to gain the best talent from a draft. To close.
“We have always become the best player available in our minds and what we think can affect the institution more than others, and we will continue to do this and deal with an overload of strength. … I am not closed to move forward or defenders.”
This may be true, but the Schaefer formulation would complicate Davidson.
This may mean that Blackhawks will eventually trade Schaefer or other cannons. However, they do not want to move from any of their young defenders yet, especially after devoting a lot of resources to develop them. Korchinski has not been hoping for Blackhawks yet, but it is still early in its development, and its value will not be much now.
Usually you play only one role in the upper Power Play game, usually you don’t want to devote a very high percentage of your salary cover for defenders, and you should be careful about exposing yourself to possible application with many young players in your list. If Levisonov, Kurchenski and Renzel, Kaiser continues to develop as it was, Flasic keeps him on his path, and one of these young defenders, Black Hawk does not need Shavir. With the construction of the list, the excess of the elite defenders is not the same as the excess of the attackers.
Blackhawks can take the best available with the best selection. Some experts believe that the Michael Missa Center is not far from the bullish direction of Shavir. Missa was impressive in OHL this season, and most of the drafts of his drafts as the best striker in the draft. AthleteScott Wheler has Schaefer and MISA as first -class players.

Can Blackhawks trade with selection number 1?
This is possible. Davidson has already said he was open to transferring his first choice this year. It is rarely trading selection No. 1 before performing. This has not happened since 2003, when the Pittsburgh Penguins team acquired the first choice of Florida Panthers and its format Marc-André Flery.
There is a calculator on Puckdia that you can play with to measure the value of draft choices, and according to it, the value of selection number 1 is the same as the two chosen number 2 and number 13 combined. In other words, it will take a lot until Blackhawks will get equal value. Unless Blackhawks gets an NHL player installed in return, they may not want to move away from the selection of six six. Wheeler has six players in his first two levels, and Athlete Corrie Bronman has five players at those levels.
What if the second Black Hook draft?
MISA will be the easy choice if there is. If MISA goes first and Schaefer is available, Blackhawks will get the same considerations mentioned above in No. 2.
MISA will already complete the Blackhawks. It is 6 feet 1 and 184 pounds. He skates well, is smart and has a vision. It can create for others (the fourth in OHL in decisive passes) and the result (the second to Nick Lardis in goals with 62).
Bruneman wrote about MISA: “He expects to be a star number 1 in NHL that you can build a winning team around it.”
If you add MISA to a group from Bedard forward, Frank Nazar, Oliver Moore, Satchha Boisvert, Marek Vanacker, Lardis, Ryan Green, and Colton Dach as the best six attackers-there may be a few of the past few drafts-Blackhawks to where they go. Blackhawks should be happy with their drafts under the leadership of the Mike Doutghey amateur.
What if Black Hook was third?
Schaefer and MISA are the best expert players in the draft. After that, there is a difference in opinion. James Hagns, Porter Marton, Anton Frontel and Disnoise Calcous in the next group of players and are often classified on different orders.
Hagens, who is 5-11 and 178 lbs, may be very similar to what Blackhawks already has in the front pool. Blackhawks knows that they may need some largest players alongside Bedard, Moore, Nazar, Lardis and Kanterov. Regardless of Lahagens, these other future prospects are greater. Martone is 6-2 and 208 EGP, Frondell is 6-1, 198 pounds and desnoyers is 6-2 and 178 pounds.
If you have to choose Blackhawks in No. 3, MISA and Schaefer are outside the painting, the learner’s gamble is Frondell.
Marcus Kerger recently shared his ideas about the Frondel after playing with him the season in Sweden.
“I think it is like the entire package,” said Karager. “He is big, he can skate, he can handle a picker. All of this, but he is also curious. He asks things, and tries things. So, yes, he will not play with me for a long time here. You will taste it here.”
What if Black Hook was fourth?
After MISA and Frondell, it may be due to desnoyers and Martone.
Wheeler wrote about Martone: “Martone’s got a game and a professional frame. It is battles, goes to the network, finishes his checks and will drop gloves. He deals with the missile smoothly for its size and can be noticeable in his possession when he plays with confidence and elegance.
Pronman wrote on Desnoyers: “It checks every box of what you want in the NHL center. It is long and fast and achieves a lot with and without a pile. Desenoyers offers an excellent skill and ability to play the game. It creates a crime on movement, and after the ocean and between the network. He has a wonderful creativity as a playmaker, while he was also a key to detail.”
