The Chicago Blackhawks had a no-brainer with their first pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. The Blackhawks selected Connor Bedard with the first overall pick in the draft. General manager Kyle Davidson was back on the clock again in the first round at 19.
Davidson said Tuesday the Blackhawks were open to making a trade in the first round. He decided to stay the course instead of giving up precious draft capital.
