Luke Richardson reveals which player the Blackhawks will draft
In five weeks in Las Vegas, the NHL draft promises to be a spectacular event at La Sphere.
For fans, the main attraction remains discovering which prospects their team will choose.
In San Jose, Macklin Celebrini is expected to be the first pick, while the second choice is more uncertain. Ivan Demidov is popular for this position, but nothing is guaranteed.
During an interview, Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson revealed that his team is looking for defensive players. He specifically mentioned a big defenseman capable of defending well and handling the puck, as well as skills and speed up front.
"I just got back from Chicago and attended our meeting with the scouting staff to understand our intentions for this draft and the type of players we would like to have.
I'm so busy throughout the season that I don't have many opportunities to see the young prospects in action.
The criterion for us is a big defenseman who can defend well and move the puck, as well as more skills and speed up front." - Luke Richardson
This suggests that the Blackhawks could choose a defenseman with the second overall pick, which could influence the Canadiens' choice. While it's not a confirmation, it's an interesting clue to consider.
