Welcome to Part 2 of my three-part Chicago Blackhawks mailbag. You can read the first part here.Here is the second part. Thanks, as always, for the questions.What if nothing else happens before the season? What if this is just the Hawks lineup (after a high draft pick isn’t ready to join the club immediately) and we do this whole lottery dance again next season? Who can be held accountable for this now that Davidson has already been extended? Blashill? What if no one buys the ‘but they’re so young’ excuse after seeing some young kids make waves in the playoffs? What is there to even look forward to if this team comes back as constructed? Who is showing any signs of growth that should get me even mildly interested in another 68-78 point season? — Taylor H.I do think the Blackhawks will still do something. Whether it’s to the degree that satisfies fans, we’ll see.But the idea that there’s nothing for Blackhawks fans to look forward to seems off to me, though. Roman Kantserov’s signing was huge for the Blackhawks. I assumed he’d sign, but you just never know. We’ll see what he looks like when he gets onto NHL ice, but it doesn’t seem unrealistic for him to be among the Calder Trophy favorites for next season, especially if he’s playing with Bedard.Also, the fact that Anton Frondell and Nick Lardis ended the season in coach Jeff Blashill’s top six was significant, too. If both take their next steps, the Blackhawks can start worrying less about where the offense is going to come from. Frondell and Lardis have to prove themselves in the NHL, but what they did in their previous leagues points toward unique abilities.Just between those three players, all who could be in the top six, all who will be 22 years old or younger, that seems at least interesting. We’ll see what happens with the draft, too. There are so many moving parts that could still impact the Blackhawks’ offseason. We can revisit some of those questions, but I don’t think it’s as bleak as you make it seem.You guys obviously see a lot of other building, any suggestions of amazing places to visit outside of the usual ones, i.e. Montreal, Toronto? — Dan N.Detroit’s new stadium is up there for me. I still love going to St. Paul, Minn. But outside of Madison Square Garden, which is just so unique, most of the buildings I like are because of the atmosphere. Utah Mammoth games have been fun. When the Nashville Predators are winning, that’s a fun crowd.All three of our first-round picks in 2027 for Connor McDavid, who says no? — Rowen B.The Oilers probably say no. I think they’d want more than that if they’re trading McDavid, even if he has just a few years on his contract. The Blackhawks’ 2027 first-round pick might have value, but the other two picks could be late picks — though, if the Oilers traded McDavid, their pick the Blackhawks own might be worth more.I’m not saying McDavid can’t be traded, but the Oilers would probably want something in return where they’re not just completely rebuilding. That probably wouldn’t make Leon Draisaitl too happy.With the very, very heavy forward 2027 draft, is the smart pick at four Carson Carels, even if Ivar Stenberg is on the board? — Michael M.There are just too many variables to plan for a draft a year away. For one, the Blackhawks might not be picking in the top five a year from now. I also think they’ll become much more aggressive in trading their first-rounders next year. I also do believe the Blackhawks would consider drafting Stenberg at No. 1 if they were sitting there. If he falls to No. 4, it’s likely a no-brainer. I think they’ll draft Gavin McKenna, Stenberg or Caleb Malhotra if any fall to fourth. If none of those players falls, I’m still not convinced that Carels is absolutely the pick.
