## Resource

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis break down No. 3 overall pick Anton Frondell’s NHL debut, discussing what stood out in his game, including his lethal shot, his 200-foot play, his hockey sense, and where he could fit on the power play. They also debate whether Frondell projects best as a long-term second-line center or as Connor Bedard’s top linemate. Plus, they discuss Frondell’s wise decision to play in the Swedish Hockey League after being drafted instead of turning pro right away and how valuable that was for his development.Pat and Charlie also talk about Nick Lardis’ promotion to the second line and how he’s taken advantage of the opportunity after previously playing in a fourth-line role since his second call-up and whether that fourth-line experience helped his development.They also discuss Arvid Söderblom’s terrific last two starts and whether he could earn more starts down the stretch, Andre Burakovsky’s struggles, the Blackhawks’ overtime and shootout record, and more. They close out the show by talking about where 2024 first-round pick Sacha Boisvert could slot into the lineup as he prepares for his NHL debut.
