Blackhawks Draft Five to Build Physicality

The Blackhawks pulled off a bold draft strategy, trading down and up to land five new players focused on size and physicality. They snagged defenseman Xavier Villeneuve at 34th, left winger Ryan Roobroeck (traded up for) at 37th, Finnish defenseman Samu Alalauri in round three, and added two more big forwards—Alexander Ivanov and William Sorbrand—in later rounds. With development camp looming and free agency on the horizon, GM Kyle Davidson’s next moves could reshape the roster even further.
