The Chicago Blackhawks have selected the first European player in the 2025 NHL Draft, taking Swedish power forward Anton Frondell overall, adding another center to their young core. Frondell, often dubbed a “military tank” at 6’1″ and 200+ lbs, brings a lethal shot, high hockey IQ, and a relentless two-way game. He dominated in Sweden’s HockeyAllsvenskan, proving he can produce against men. The biggest question for Blackhawks fans: How will this versatile, physical winger/center complement Connor Bedard? Frondell’s ability to win battles and open space could be exactly what Bedard needs. This pick significantly bolsters Chicago’s long-term rebuild!

Boo martone was my guy this year and demidov last year .. better not here bedsy has no one to play with this year they fooked for two years … demidov mArtone chould of played with bedsy for years .. but they took a poopy d man and a sweed 😢😢😢
I was hoping they’d shop the pick out-right or trade back for an established line mate for Bedsy. When can we expect to see Anton?
You have to move bedard to the wing. He has no business being a center. He doesn’t have the size, defensive game or faceoff ability. Kaner led us to 3 championships as the best American born player ever from the wing, let bedard thrive there as well. With Frondell at center, bedard at wing and someone like Moore at the other wing you’ll have a great top line.
Good pick 👏
