This comes nine months after he was taken with the third overall pick in the draft.<\/p>\n<p>For Bedard, he&#8217;s excited to play alongside Frondell.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nhl\/story\/_\/id\/48297593\/top-blackhawks-prospect-anton-frondell-making-debut-islanders\">said Bedard via ESPN<\/a>. &#8220;Just throw him in there and give him the minutes, power play and just have him in the same role he was playing in all year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t a case of rushing up a prospect too soon, either. The Blackhawks need to see what they have and it&#8217;s clear that Frondell has done enough for Jeff Blashill to bring him up.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering what to expect from Frondell, here was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flohockey.tv\/articles\/14339748-chicago-blackhawaks-draft-anton-frondell-nhl-draft-instant-analysis\">scouting report for him following the draft selection<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After registering 0.86 points per game in the Allsvenskan, Frondell is without peer among U18 players at that level of hockey. His per-game production outpaces that of William Nylander, David Pastrnak and Filip Forsberg at the same age. He had another seven points in the playoffs as Djug\u00e5rden earned promotion to the SHL.<\/p>\n<p>So why isn\u2019t he a lock to go in the top five? Frondell, oddly enough, underwhelmed against his own age group and early-season injuries knocked him out of some of the biggest competitions.<\/p>\n<p>When he is at his best, Frondell is a hard-driving forward who can get to the interior and score goals. He is committed to two-way ability and physicality to impose his will on games. Which is why a lot of us were perplexed as to why we didn\u2019t see that regularly with his own age group. The inconsistency is a concern, but his best games are better than most other players in this draft, which in a weaker draft year is worth betting on, in my estimation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The season might be disappointing, but it will be exciting for fans to see Bedard and Frondell play together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Blackhawks are wrapping up another season in a rebuild as they enter Tuesday&#8217;s game with 65 points, tied for second-worst in the league.
