The Blackhawks will be selecting third overall in the 2019 NHL Draft next month. The last time the Hawks did that, they selected Jonathan Toews. But that’s not the only No. 3 overall pick on Chicago’s roster. Thanks to a November trade, the Blackhawks acquired Dylan Strome from the Coyotes, who then started showing off some of the skills that made him worthy of the No. 3 selection in the 2015 NHL Draft.
Basic stats tell much of the story of Strome’s evolution in Chicago.
- In 48 career games with the Coyotes in three seasons, he only had seven goals and nine assists.
