The Chicago Blackhawks have a lot of pretty good centers. They might be able to move Dylan Strome now that they have Kirby Dach in the mix.
The Chicago Blackhawks didn’t miss the playoffs by very many points in 2019. They didn’t have great odds in the draft lottery as a result but they did get very lucky. The New Jersey Devils won the first overall pick, the New York Rangers won the second overall pick, and the Blackhawks won the third overall pick. The Devils selected Jack Hughes followed by Kaapo Kakko to the New York Rangers. Then, the true intrigue began with the Hawks pick at number three.
They selected big center, Kirby Dach, from the Saskatoon Blades of the WHL. He is projected to be one of their top-six centers for a very long time. There is even a hope that he takes over as the team’s number one center when Jonathan Toews is past his prime. That is a tall order but Dach has the talent to do so.
