We finally made it to the 2021 NHL Draft. It is a lot later this year than we are used to seeing but it has finally arrived. The Chicago Blackhawks have the 12th overall pick. They are, however, going to take the 11th player due to the fact that the Arizona Coyotes have forfeited their pick. That isn’t the best pick to have in the draft because they weren’t bad enough to be in the lottery and they weren’t good enough to be in the playoffs.
Luckily for them, they are going to be able to get a good player there if they are good at their jobs. This draft is very unpredictable because of the lack of depth combined with the COVID-19 pandemic making it harder to scout players. There is one player, in particular, that would fit what they are doing if all works out.
