The Chicago Blackhawks moved up nine spots in the draft lottery Tuesday to select third overall in the upcoming 2019 NHL Entry Draft.
The ‘Hawks had less than a 10 percent chance to move into the top three going into the lottery.
This is obviously a big win for Chicago, but how big of a win was it and who might they select?
The last time they had a top three pick, the Blackhawks selected Patrick Kane first overall in the 2007 draft. The year before that, the ‘Hawks picked Jonathan Toews third overall, the same draft position they’ll be in this year.
