Blackhawks may trade up for Michael Misa

The Chicago Blackhawks are considering trading up in the upcoming NHL draft to potentially select forward Michael Misa, a top prospect. This move would require a trade with teams holding the top two picks. Blackhawks scouts have developed a strong relationship with Misa, who had an outstanding season in the OHL. The team is also evaluating other prospects, including Porter Martone, though his skating ability is a concern. Other potential draft targets for the Blackhawks include Cullen Potter and Malcolm Spence, depending on their priorities for skating ability and work ethic. The team did not meet with William Horcoff.
