The Blackhawks made their first trade on day two of the 2021 NHL Draft, sending a third-round pick in next year's draft to Carolina in exchange for the 91st overall selection. With the newly-acquired pick, Chicago selected Taige Harding from the AJHL's Fort McMurray Oil Barons.

The 6-foot-7, 236-pound defenseman posted 13 points (5G, 8A) in 16 games last season, his second with Fort McMurray. He's heading to Providence College in the fall.

The Blackhawks own picks 105, 108, 172, 204 and 216 in the remaining rounds of the 2021 NHL Draft. Stay tuned to
