NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported today that the Chicago Blackhawks may be looking to trade up in the 2024 NHL draft.

Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has been busy this offseason, trading up in the draft once already. He completed a deal with the New York Islanders, sending picks 20, 54, and 61 in exchange for picks 18 and 50.
#Isles News: The New York Islanders have acquired a first-round pick (#20) and two second-round picks (#54 and #61) in the 2024 NHL Draft from the Chicago Blackhawks, in exchange for the team's first-round pick (#18) and second-round pick (#50).
The move immediately lead to speculation among fans. Many believe that Davidson and the Blackhawks may not be done yet as they look to accelerate the rebuild. The team will already be drafting 2nd overall after adding Connor Bedard last year. Adding yet another top 10 pick could get the team back in the playoffs sooner than expected.

32 Thoughts Podcast: On the Chicago/Islanders pick swap trade from last week Elliotte thinks it's a precursor to another trade. Either someone moving up higher in the draft or to add to a package for a different trade. #Blackhawks #Isles #NHL
One would think that the Blackhawks would be more likely to move up in the draft given they were the ones moving up in this trade. All of this speculation is certainly making the draft more interesting, so be sure to tune in next month to see where all the pieces fall.
