Blackhawks leap to No. 35, select Roobroeck in 2026 NHL Draft
The Chicago Blackhawks moved up from 37 to 35 in the 2026 NHL Draft to select forward Ryan Roobroeck, a 6'2" (209 lb) prospect born in 2007. The trade sent New Jersey a pair of picks (No. 37 and No. 119). Roobroeck is viewed as a toolsy, high-upside scorer with size and speed, though questions remain about consistency and effort.
