The Chicago Blackhawks drafting Kyle Beach over stars Jake Gardiner, Erik Karlsson, Braden Holtby, Tyler Myers, Tyler Ennis, and Twitter troll Zach Boychuk was a big mistake. Beach would never lace up the skates for the Blackhawks during the regular season, leaving the organization during the 2013-14 season.
Even scouts were hyping Beach up as one of the best forward’s in the entire draft. It turns out, he was one of the worst.
The top, true power forward in the draft, drawing comparisons to Owen Nolan and Claude Lemieux.
