Here's the full Blackhawks' 2025 NHL Draft Class, from rounds one through seven. Acquired the No. 29 overall pick from the Carolina Hurricanes for the No. 34 and No, 62 overall picks in the 2025 NHL Draft, and a fifth-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.

Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson explained why he traded back into the first-round to take a dual-sport forward.
