The Chicago Blackhawks used their third pick of the third round to select Jack Pridham of the West Kelowna Warriors at pick 92.
Pridham is a 6'1 Canadian right winger weighing 177 lbs. He is described as a smart power forward and has a good bag of tools and habits on the ice.
His offensive numbers are pretty impressive as the BCHL rookie tied for second in scoring among first year players with 49 points in 54 games and was also named to the All-Rookie Team. 23 of those points came as goals, so he has the ability to put the puck in the net as well.
Pridham describes himself as a skilled forward with good hockey sense, good skating and a good shot. While his regular season was solid, the winger ramped it up in the playoffs to score eight goals and 11 points in 10 games. Offense is the biggest asset he brings to the table and there's no disadvantage to Chicago adding more of that in their system.
