Due to a trade back in February of 2017 that sent Ryan Hartman and a fifth-round pick (‘18) to Nashville in exchange for Victor Ejdsell, a first-round pick (‘18) and a fourth-round pick (‘18), the Chicago Blackhawks will be picking twice in the first round out in Dallas later this week. One of those picks will be at the number 8 spot and the other will be at the number 27 spot.
And so, with the 27th pick in the Hockey Wilderness NHL Mock Draft, the Chicago Blackhawks Select, Serron Noel, Right Wing, from the Oshawa Generals of the OHL.
