CHICAGO – The “Madhouse on Madison” has been awfully quiet lately.

The Blackhawks headed off of the ice and into a long offseason after a Game 6 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes on April 23. The Bulls fared no better in a first-round playoff series loss to the Philadelphia 76ers that abruptly ended their season May 10.

Hawks general manager Stan Bowman and Bulls general manager Gar Forman do not have to dwell on their playoff disappointments for much longer. The NHL entry draft begins today and ends Friday while the NBA draft is next Thursday.
