Hawks haven't had much to play for recently, but beating St. Louis last night definitely put a hurting on their playoff hopes.
Hawks will finish 7th or 8th.

Blackhawks come in at #8 in the NHL Draft Lottery. Carolina jumps them in the lottery and along with Montreal and Buffalo have a chance at the #1 pick.
Will be interesting to see which way Stan goes at #8. I would bet on a d-man (Hughes, Dobson or Bouchard) but if a big time playmaker is still available (Zadina or Wahlstrom), would that change the plan?
Zadina will be long gone, but if Wahlstrom is still there (and I pray he is), Bowman should sprint to the podium.
Marian Hossa officially retires from hockey today. Not sure if he’s going to file retirement papers now.
One of the best 2 way hockey players in the last 25 years or so. His backcheck was phenomenal. Sure fire HoFer.
All hail, Hoss! What a player!

Hawks will undoubtedly trade his contract this off season, perhaps on draft day.
Hope so. They can use the 5.275M.
After a really solid draft, FA Period starts on Sunday. Anthony Duclair and Tomas Jurco, among others, did not receive a qualifying offer.
Sad day today as one of the greats, Stan Mikita, has passed away. One of the greatest, if not the greatest, to don the Indian head jersey.
