Chris Chelios believes Blackhawks should draft a forward at No. 2 overall to help boost offensive attack

(670 The Score) The Blackhawks have another chance to acquire a premium young talent after they landed the No. 2 overall pick in the NHL Draft.

While calling it a “tough decision,” Blackhawks legend Chris Chelios believes Chicago should focus on using the selection on a forward to help boost the team’s offensive attack and to have another dynamic weapon alongside 18-year-old star Connor Bedard.

“You can’t go wrong either way, but if I’m them, I’m leaning toward that forward just to help out Bedard a little bit,” Chelios said on the Mully & Haugh Show on Wednesday morning. “He needs someone to play with.”

Boston University center Macklin Celebrini is widely projected to go to the San Jose Sharks at No. 1 overall. Beyond that, Medicine Hat (WHL) forward Cayden Lindstrom, St. Petersburg (MHL) forward Ivan Demidov, Kelowna Rockets (WHL) forward Tij Iginla and U.S. National Team Development Program forward Cole Eiserman are a few of the top prospects who will be available for Chicago.
