The Chicago Blackhawks are once again positioned for a shot at the No. 1 overall pick in the NHL Draft, and shockingly, they have even better odds than they did last season.
The Blackhawks have a 14.1% chance of earning the No. 2 pick, with a 30.7% chance of picking third and a 41.7% chance of picking fourth.
Last year, the Blackhawks had the third-best odds of landing the top overall pick, which they were able to do as they won the right to select phenom Connor Bedard.
This year, Boston University center Macklin Celebrini is seen as the likely favorite to be the top selection, having scored 32 goals and dished out 32 assists at the collegiate level last season.
