The Blackhawks are entering one of their more difficult and intriguing times in over a decade. The organization decided to call it quits on this current build and has been moving out players and assets over the past year to position themselves to have the most draft picks available antle and the first overall.
They have succeeded in those goals and will draft Connor Bedard tomorrow when the draft begins at 7:00 PM. They will also have numerous draft picks in the first three rounds. Trades are also in the mix, as the Blackhawks decided to make a trade with the Boston Bruins in acquiring Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno.
According to Jim Matheson, who writes for the Oilers' journal, Foligno should be given the captaincy as soon as possible.
While having some leadership qualities and years of experience, I do feel that the Blackhawks should wait until they have their team completed and their core established before giving out the captaincy.
