The NHL Draft starts Wednesday, June 28, in Nashville. The draft will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson arrived for the NHL draft in Music City this week reflecting on the tear-down job he began conducting a summer ago by trading away Alex DeBrincat and Kirby Dach.

And that was before Davidson essentially completed the process by dealing away Patrick Kane to the New York Rangers in February. Then, the organization and longtime captain Jonathan Toews decided to part ways.

On Wednesday, the 34-year-old GM gets to begin building the Blackhawks back up again with the No. 1 pick, with which Chicago is expected to select 17-year-old Canadian sharp-shooting and playmaking center Connor Bedard.

Davidson, like most GMs who have had the No. 1 pick, won’t divulge who he’s selecting. Still, he was more than eager to praise Bedard, who is being referred to as a generational talent and has drawn comparisons to Connor McDavid following consecutive 100-point seasons with the Western Hockey League’s Regina Pats.

Beyond the near certainty of Bedard going first, there are several subplots to how the rest of the first round unfolds. The intrigue revolves around when Matvei Michkov — a forward who’s skilled but under contract to play in his native Russia through 2025-26 — is selected, and when the first defenseman goes off the board in what is a top-heavy class of forwards.

University of Michigan forward Adam Fantilli, only the third freshman to win college hockey’s Hobey Baker award as the nation’s top player, Sweden’s Leo Carlsson and USA Hockey’s William Smith are projected to round out the top four, with Michkov potentially in the mix.

Anaheim holds the second pick, followed by Columbus, San Jose and Montreal.
