Chicago Blackhawks {tied for 31st overall} Western Conference, Central Division
The three-time Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks team is now officially History as Mr. Kane signed with the Rangers for last season’s Cup playoffs, Team Chairman Mr. Wirtz (Since 2007) passed recently, additionally, veteran players Misters Perry, Hall, Donato, and Foligno have become Blackhawks.
The Chicago Blackhawks picked first overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft and selected Connor Bedard a player the Blackhawks can build a future around and with some talent being developed in their system Chicago has something to look forward to.
In net, Mr. Mrazek is solid and has provided the Blackhawks opportunities to win and should continue to do so as Chicago progresses into a better team.
With the players brought in by GM Davidson for HC Richardson to insert into the roster, the Blackhawks are preparing to play competitively for the 2023-24 NHL Season and that will give Chicago fans something to cheer for.

I can’t helping asking but Buffalo Winter and shyshy: How do you think top draft pick Connor Bedard feels (but might not say publicly) about being picked first overall by a lowly NHL team that happened to win the lottery?

This is a loaded question, I would have to make the supposition that most first overall draft selections that get drafted by a team not going to the Stanley Cup Finals anytime soon would be…disappointing to say the least.
When the great Mario Lemieux was drafted by Pittsburgh first overall in 1984 the Penguins won 16 whole games the season before, so Mr. Bedard should not feel too badly, or when Patrick Kane was drafted first overall by Chicago in 2007 the Blackhawks won 26 games and were third from the bottom of the League.
So who really knows? Perhaps the best scenario is to accept happily whatever NHL sweater you are blessed to don and get on with it, imho.
