145 pts. in 58 games. I like this pick and have been hoping this is going to be the choice. If the Hawks need anything it's scoring. I also like this good ol' North American brand of hockey the Hawks have been building
for ....well forever it seems. I've heard Kane isn't the most responsible defensively ,but I think goals are the most important need now.
DOWN WITH WIRTZ!!!

I hope the Hawks do take Kane as it would allow the Flyers to select Turris. Turris offers similar skill sets but plays a much better all around game.

Plus I am concerned about his size as he can gain weight but he can't grow.

I do sympathize with GoHawksDieWirtz as that ahole Wirtz totally killed what was a glamour franchise in the league.

I think Kane would be a good fit in Chicago. Toews and Kane seem like really good prospects. I dont know if Kane is ready right away though. Might be good to leave him down in the minors to work on his defensive game a little.

A 5'9", 160 pound guy with the 1st pick? I know it's an extremely thin draft, but really? Whatever.

5'9 160? It might work for somebody that small in London, but in the NHL? His numbers are pretty impressive, but he's really small . . . is this a good pick?
