DRAFT: 2019 NHL Combine Primer

The NHL's top draft-eligible prospects arrived in Buffalo for a week of team meetings, fitness testing and visits with the media at the 2019 NHL Combine.
After beating their 8.2% odds to pick in the top three at the NHL Draft Lottery, Chicago will look to narrow down a decision that has been hanging in the hockey air since the ping pong balls bounced the Blackhawks way in Toronto. If consensus top two picks Jack Hughes and Kaapo Kakko are off the board, who should Chicago select with the third pick in the NHL Draft?
In Buffalo this week, the Blackhawks will finally start getting some answers.

Friday at the Combine

Top prospects Bowen Byram (Vancouver, WHL), Dylan Cozens (Lethbridge, WHL), Kirby Dach (Saskatoon, WHL), Jack Hughes (USA U-18, NTDP) and Alex Turcotte (USA U-18, NTDP) will meet with the media.
