The Chicago Blackhawks' decision to pick defenseman Artyom Levshunov with the second overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft has sparked significant debate.
Despite some fans preferring forward Ivan Demidov, a recent survey shows 79.3% believe Levshunov was the right choice. Levshunov's combination of size, mobility, and offensive ability, highlighted by his 35 points in 38 games at Michigan State, makes him a standout defensive prospect.
His all-around game is reminiscent of top NHL defensemen like Erik Karlsson and Quinn Hughes. Levshunov's positive off-ice persona and work ethic have also won over fans.
While it's too early to judge his NHL impact, his selection aligns with the Blackhawks' goal of building a skilled, high-character team. As GM Kyle Davidson said, only time will reveal if the choice proves correct.
