The Chicago Blackhawks were expected to take a forward with the No. 3 pick in the draft. With 2022 first-round pick Frank Nazar and 2023 No. 1 pick Connor Bedard on the roster, the Blackhawks needed to take a player who could take over at wing to help those two budding stars.

With the No. 3 pick in the draft, the Blackhawks took Anton Frondell, a centre from Sweden.

Offense was an issue for the Blackhawks last season. Chicago was ranked 26th in goal production, scoring just 224 goals last season, an average of 2.73 goals per game. The Blackhawks ranked 25th in assists, with just 379 assists.

The lack of offensive production cost Chicago in the win/loss column. The Blackhawks finished the campaign with the second-worst record (25-46-11).

Frondell likely won’t make an immediate impact as a rookie like Bedard did in 2023-24, but he should help boost the offense when the young core led by Bedard and Nazar are ready to compete deep in the playoffs in a few seasons.
