It seems even with owner Bill Wirtz doing everything possible to destroy the franchise, the hockey gods finally have taken mercy on the fans.
At the lottery, held behind closed doors at the NHL's offices in New York (of course these suits won't do it publicly since they believe transparency is their enemy), the Hawks won the right to select first overall, moving up four spots. Unfortunately for fans, there isn't a stud franchise prospect this year.
Philadelphia will select number two, followed by Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Washington.
Chicago is actually amassing a pretty solid young core with players such as Jonathan Toews, Tuomo Ruutu, Cam Barker and Brent Seabrook already in the organization. The future looks bright a few seasons down the road if management will keep these guys together. As any Hawks' fan will tell you though, don't count on it !
