Hey, Blackhawks fans!

Nick Lardis was drafted in the third round (67th overall) of the 2023 NHL Draft, and unfortunately, he will not be making his NHL debut any time soon. He will likely be returning to the OHL, playing for the Brantford Bulldogs. Someone had tweeted me saying they had never heard of Lardis until the Blackhawks announced they had signed him, so I figured I would get you up to speed on everything you need to know about the 18-year-old forward.

The main thing you need to know about Lardis is that he is a goal scorer.
