Nicolas Beaudin

October 2020 – Beaudin is waiting for camp to open in what will be a big year for him development wise. Having seen NHL action in the last season, anything less will seem like a disappointment but may be best for his overall development. Either way, full time NHL employment may be just around the corner for the 2018 first round pick. Tony Carr

March 2020 – Beaudin made his NHL debut and looked good in limited minutes. There is going to be a massive change coming to the Blackhawks squad in the next couple of years, especially on defence. Beaudin has put himself right in the middle of it. Depending on how things shake out during the extended off-season, expect Beaudin to start next season in the AHL but should be on the short list of call ups when injuries hit. Tony Carr

February 2019 – Beaudin has continued to produce points at an elite level since being left off of Team Canada’s roster from the 2019 WJH. With his Drummondville Voltigeurs currently sitting second overall in the QMJHL, Beaudin is hoping for a long playoff run and a possible shot at playing for the Memorial Cup held in Halifax.

December 2018 – Beaudin is one of the 12 defensemen named to Team Canada’s preliminary roster for the upcoming world junior hockey championships. The first-round-pick from the 2018 draft is having another outstanding season in the QMJHL, on pace to set career highs in all offensive categories, all while improving his work in the defensive end dramatically.
