The Blackhawks short-term future in net remains unsettled with the trio of Kevin Lankinen, Malcolm Subban and Collin Delia all still in varying levels of contention for the No. 1 spot in Chicago. Behind those three, Chicago’s organizational depth at goaltender isn’t great, with 2019 sixth-round pick Dominic Basse and 2020 second-round pick Drew Commesso the only two worth considering as potential long-term options.
That’s part of the reason why, with the No. 11 overall pick in the SB Nation NHL Mock Draft for 2021, we’re selecting goaltender Jesper Wallstedt from Lulea of the SHL (Sweden).
