If the Jackets' choice is difficult to predict, as they have mentioned wanting a defenseman and then a forward after the change in general manager, it's become very clear on the Chicago side.
The Blackhawks would have made their choice, and it's not Ivan Demidov.
According to highly reputable Scott Powers, their choice will be defenseman Artyom Levshunov.
"Just so you're prepared, I'll be surprised if it's not Levshunov."
We're talking about one of the journalists with the best sources, who rarely makes mistakes.
If the rumors are indeed true and Kent Hughes intends to select Ivan Demidov, it is becoming increasingly possible.
