Nicolas Beaudin had a season to remember in 2021 with the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Chicago Blackhawks 2018 first-round draft pick scored his first goal this past season and played in 19 NHL games. During his first real stint with the Blackhawks, Nicolas Beaudin was someone to keep your eye on, and at times was one of the best defensemen on the ice for the Blackhawks.
At this time, it is all about deciding which six defensemen the Hawks are going to run with next season, whether or not Beaudin is one of the top six is still up in the air.
