Blackhawks fans begin cheering for Florida over major draft trade
In a crucial game on Monday night, the Florida Panthers could help out the Chicago Blackhawks by beating the Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs.
This matchup is super important for Blackhawks fans and the team's management because it could clear up when the Blackhawks get their second pick in the first round of the NHL draft.
Right now, the Florida Panthers are leading the series against the Tampa Bay Lightning with a 3-1 lead. If the Panthers win, it means they move forward in the playoffs, and it also affects the draft order. If the Lightning get knocked out, the Blackhawks will have a better idea of when they get to pick in the first round, and a much better draft pick (positioning wise).
''On Monday night, the Florida Panthers can do the Blackhawks a solid and knock out the Lightning. That would provide Blackhawks fans � and the front office � a little more clarity on how early Chicago's second pick in the first round will be on the clock. Florida has a 3-1 series lead.''
Said Blackhawks reporter Tab Bamford.
This game isn't just about who wins on the ice. It could actually change the future plans for the Blackhawks as they prepare for the NHL draft.
Blackhawks fans are really excited to see what happens in Monday night's game. They're hoping for a win that will give the team a clearer picture of what's ahead.
