The Blackhawks were slated to pick at #12 overall in the draft when everyone woke up Friday, July 23rd. Then there was a flurry of activity, and Chicago went all-in on a new defenseman. There were rumours it was going to happen, then it did, and everyone was unhappy.
At this point, Chicago Blackhawks’ General Manager Stan Bowman is probably unhappy as well.
