The Chicago Blackhawks may have reached when they selected Vaclav Nestrasil with the 25th pick in the first round of this year's draft. Then again, the Blackhawks could take a risk since the 25th pick was not originally theirs to begin with.
That draft pick belonged to the Toronto Maple Leafs but was owed to Chicago to complete a prior trade made in 2023.
General manager Kyle Davidson wanted to add some size to his prospect pool and Nestrasil provides that with his 6-foot-6 frame. He also has skill to go along with his massive frame.
