The Chicago Blackhawks have the 11th overall selection in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, and there is one player in particular that should be on their radar.

Goalie Jesper Wallstedt has a tremendous amount of upside, and is perhaps one of the best netminders available in a while. While the Blackhawks did find a pleasant surprise this year in Kevin Lankinen, there is no doubt that they could still use some help between the pipes.
