The Blackhawks’ drafting was poor throughout the second half of Stan Bowman’s general manager tenure.
But the 2020 draft class might end up being a positive exception. The Hawks’ first three picks that year — forward Lukas Reichel at 17th, goaltender Drew Commesso at 46th and forward Landon Slaggert at 79th — all look like possible steals. They’re arguably the best two forwards and best goalie in their pipeline.
