Tuminaro, a Rockford native and Chicago Steel product, has a good chance to get drafted in his second year eligible, which would be a nice reward for lots of hard work. He's one of four Illinois natives in the draft pool this year.

Hull recorded 640 points over 13 seasons with the Hawks from 1964 to 1977.

The Hawks' 100-year history is filled with stories of success, failure and downright anger.

The Hawks will likely continue to struggle to convince lower-tier prospects to sign into their crowded system after losing both Pridham and Dominic James to the Lightning over the past year for that reason.

Davidson admitted Friday he's more eager than ever to make trades, but with the market focused on “hockey trades,” he would probably have to give up young NHL players in return.

Stenberg believes he's ready to jump into the NHL next season, and he looks like a great fit for the Hawks' depth chart. But first, the Swedish winger would have to slip past the Sharks and Canucks.

Considering the Hawks haven't dined with any prospects in Buffalo the last two years, it's interesting they visited Reid's home outside Detroit to dine with him.

If none of the top three forwards — Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg and Caleb Malhotra — remain available at fourth overall, the Hawks could be stuck choosing between Chase Reid and Carson Carels.

The Hawks have much do over the next two weeks during the peak of NHL summer activity, including the draft, free agency and trades.
