After the dust settled Saturday afternoon at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the host Chicago Blackhawks had made eight selections across seven rounds. Before that, they made trades that saw Niklas Hjalmarsson and Artemi Panarin depart while Brandon Saad came back in the fold.
The Blackhawks took five defensemen and four forwards while wheeling and dealing just as they had before the draft. General manager Stan Bowman had just one pick to make after No. 150 in Round 5, with the draft ending at No. 217 in Round 7.
