Blackhawks Choose Quick

2014-12-06

"We're happy to have him, and we've solidified our goaltending for years to come"

Blackhaks GM DJ yMales commenting shortly after the pick,

"It came down to if we felt the need for an elite scorer, an elite playmaker, or an elite goaltending.  It wasn't a decision that was taken lightly because we were setting our franchice up for the long haul.  In the end we felt it better to take the goaltender cause he along can iwin you games."

Males continued with the process

"You can win with an elite scorer, and you can win with an elite playmaker.  But with subpar goaltending you'll be in a dogfight every night.  So Jonathan Quick was our choice.  Quite frankly we didn't think we could get him.  So we're extremely happy with our selection."

The Blackhawks are due to draft again real soon, where will they go with it?  We know it wont be in goal
