Welcome to the 2018 edition of the Hockey Wilderness mock draft. A group of Hockey Wilderness writers are tasked with selecting a player everyday for the next 31 days, based off the final draft order - NO trades! - culminating with the 31st pick right on draft day.
The 2017-2018 season for the Chicago Blackhawks was a dumpster fire. Plain and simple. Finishing 7th in the Central Division, which is dead last, was the worst finish ever since they joined the Central back in 1993. It was also the first time since the 2007 season that the Hawks missed out on the playoffs, and the time is now to make a big splash in the NHL Draft and get back to their winning ways.
