While we made the decision to go with Stan Mikita as the greatest Chicago Blackhawk of all-time, we don’t actually think that he was the most dynamic player, and dare we say, necessarily the best.

In their respective primes, we would argue that the “Golden Jet” was actually the better player, and certainly the most dynamic, but Mikita’s longevity with the organization would make him more synonymous with the Blackhawks; Hull was the bigger star.

This was not easy. 

Do you go with Stan Mikita or Bobby Hull?

Honestly, we don’t think you can go wrong regardless of which way you go, but we chose Stan and his importance due to his longevity with the franchise. However, if you think we should have gone with Hull, we understand your perspective.
