In a move that shocked a lot of the hockey world, myself included, the Chicago Blackhawks drafted Kirby Dach two years ago today with the third overall pick of the 2019 NHL draft.
Everyone knew who was going one and two, Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko were going to New Jersey and New York, but who would go third overall was up in the air.
At the time, Dach was not my number one choice for the Blackhawks’ third overall pick.
I wanted the Chicago Blackhawks to add Bowen Byram with the third overall pick, the highly talented defensive prospect was one of the top players around and he now is a part of the Colorado Avalanche because the team added a forward.
