What can the Blackhawks expect from No. 62 pick Colton Dach?

When it comes to second round picks, NHL General Mangers are often searching for players with good value and the highest ceiling possible. Forwards typically develop faster and show what type of player they are at a younger age. The Blackhawks scouting department clearly saw a lot of upside in Alex DeBrincat in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and they won that bet. So that begs the question, what is it that the Hawks see in Colton Dach? Do they see him as Kirby Dach’s brother? Is this part of some sort of hockey family tradition scheme, much like the acquisition of both Seth and Caleb Jones?
