Why Blackhawks must draft Artyom Levshunov No. 2 overall

Although the Hawks lost the Macklin Celebrini sweepstakes — they'll select No. 2 in the 2024 NHL Draft at the Sphere in Las Vegas on June 28 — there are a couple of other great options on the board, and no consensus second overall pick. The Hawks could go a couple of different ways with this selection, but the leading speculation is that the front office will select either Russian standout forward Ivan Demidov or Michigan State defenseman Artyom Levshunov.
