Hawks win first overall choice in upcoming draft...

The Chicago Blackhawks have won the first overall pick according to multiple sources.

Poor Flyers, they have a horrific year and still can't win the first one.

The bottom five had already been determined in a pre-lotto:
1. Philadelphia
2. Phoenix
3. LA Kings
4. Washington
5. Chicago

And the Hawks win...the Flyers will likely pick second.

Here's the most updated rankings from ISS:

1. Jakub Voracek, RW
2. Patrick Kane, RW
3. Alexei Cherepanov, RW
4. Kyle Turris, C
5. James Van Riemsdyk, LW
6. Karl Alzner, D
7. Sam Gagner, C
8. Maxim Mayorov, LW
9. Keaton Ellerby, D
10. Logan Couture, C
11. Angelo Esposito, C
12. Colton Gillies, C
13. Nick Petrecki, D
14. Joakim Andersson, C
15. Alex Plante, D

Hope this pick will compensate for all the "missed chances" that the Hawks had of getting Ovechkin and Malkin.

I can see Patrick Kane going to the Hawks...

Wouldn't it be nice if the Caps got Cherepanov to compliment Ovechkin and Backstrom?

Wow.
