The Hawks then got the third overall pick and drafted Toews that summer.

Even that wasn't enough for Chicago. They then went out and got Martin Havlat and Bryan Smolinski.

The Hawks then finished 4th, won the draft lottery and drafted Kane.

Sucking was thrust upon them, it wasn't a plan.

Poor example.
