Chicago is staring at the old draft-room debate that never really dies - need versus talent. The case here leans toward taking the best player available, because that is usually how you avoid a decade of regrets and a stack of apologetic press conferences. The Blackhawks are at a point where the safest move can also be the sharpest one, especially when the board starts to flatten out. This is the kind of pick that can define a rebuild before the room even empties.
