Kyle Davidson’s day as GM of the Chicago Blackhawks before and during Round 1 of the 2022 NHL Draft, can be summed up in one old clich?: the new guy on the block sells all his unwanteds in hopes of a fresh start and ends up quite literally getting robbed instead.
Following the Alex DeBrincat trade for the 7th and 39th overall picks in the 2022 Draft, the Blackhawks later sent Kirby Dach packing to draft host Montreal in exchange for the 13th pick in the draft.
