The Blackhawks will forfeit a second-round late selection in order to advance two spots in the first round and four spots in the second.
Teams trading selections long in advance of the draft is not unheard of, but it seems probable that the Blackhawks want to move up in the 2024 draft. In addition to receiving extra draft cash, the Islanders will be able to strengthen their depleted prospect pool by using their late second on some elite talent.
More information will be provided soon.
