Blackhawks’ Anton Frondell on Viktor Eklund relationship amid NHL Draft
ClutchPointsSaturday, June 28, 2025 at 2:12:55 AM
The Chicago Blackhawks snagged Swedish forward Anton Frondell with the third pick in the 2025 NHL Draft after his standout season overseas. Frondell’s rise to a top-five selection was fueled by his strong play, but there’s added intrigue because his linemate, Viktor Eklund—who was projected to go first overall—had his own stellar year. The article hints at their on-ice chemistry and how their relationship might influence their NHL futures.
Editor’s Note: Draft stories are always about potential, and this one’s no different—Frondell’s selection is exciting for Blackhawks fans, but the subplot with Eklund adds depth. If these two keep clicking in the pros, Chicago (or whoever lands Eklund) could have a dynamic duo in the making. It’s a reminder that hockey’s future stars often come in pairs, and their existing chemistry could speed up their NHL impact.
