The Blackhawks walked away from Round 1 with what they were looking for: More size and a second top young forward to play with or behind Connor Bedard in Anton Frondell. Vaclav Nestrasil is more of a second-rounder than a late-first for me, and he’s going to have to continue to develop down the steep trajectory he started on this year, but he could become a really solid third-line checking winger with size and some sneaky skill. West is a complete wild card and felt a little cute to me as a trade-up chase, but there’s no denying he has some real attributes.
