What are the Blackhawks getting in No. 55 Martin Misiak?
A deep dive on yet another second-round pick from the Blackhawks' 2023 draft.

The Blackhawks took more finesse, play-driving forwards with their top three selections – Connor Bedard, Oliver Moore, and Roman Kantserov – in the 2023 NHL draft, and then followed up with a more defense-oriented player with size in their No. 55 pick: Martin Misiak. He doesn't have as robust a toolkit as the trio mentioned above, but he definitely fits their player profile in terms of skating and possessing a high motor.
