The Chicago Blackhawks continue to add size in the NHL Draft when the team took winger Nathan Behm in the third round. The 6-foot-2, 202lb winger was selected 66th overall.
He fits the trend of bigger forwards the team took in the first round last night.
Anton Frondell was chosen third overall and stands over six feet. He is a shrimp compared to the other first-round choices, Vaclav Nestrasil and Mason West, who are both 6-foot-6.
The Blackhawks prospect pool needed size, so drafting Behm continues to address to fill that need.
He played for Kamloops of the WHL this past season, where he posted 66 points in 59 games.
The NHL's Central Scouting Service ranked him the 44th-best North American skater. His shot is the most impressive part of his game.

He also fits many of the other traits the Hawks desire in their prospects.
