Chicago Blackhawks drafted Swedish forward Anton Frondell with the 3rd pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Frondell was chosen following the selections of Matthew Schaefer and Michael Misa. The team aimed to add a forward due to their strong defensive depth and the talent available in the forward draft class. Frondell is recognized for being a 200-foot center and offers both offensive capabilities and reliable two-way play. Although not expected to become a star immediately, he brings valuable tools to the team and could significantly impact their performance in the upcoming season.
Frondell is exactly the type of player that the Blackhawks needed. He can provide offense, but you know you're getting an honest two-way effort from him on every shift.
He isn't going to be a star right away, but he has the tools to help the team as soon as he touches NHL ice.
If the Blackhawks had Bedard, Nazar, and Frondell as a three-headed monster down the middle, they'd have three lines that bring something different.
Frondell compared himself to Aleksander Barkov after he was drafted. That play style is welcomed by every team in the league.
