The Chicago Blackhawks and New York Islanders finalized a trade earlier in the week, involving a total of five draft picks allowing the Blackhawks to advance in both the first and second rounds.

In todays episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, NHL insider Elliotte Friedman mentioned that the Chicago Blackhawks are actively seeking advancement in preparation, for the 2024 NHL draft.

As of now Chicago holds the 2nd overall pick in the NHL draft, and is not expected to trade it. However they also possess the 18th, 34th and 50th picks, which they could combine to secure a higher pick within the top ten.

Certainly General Manager Kyle Davidson will have a busy offseason ahead. He will be looking to make some major moves for the Blackhawks as they focus on building around their 2023 1st overall pick Connor Bedard.
