I’m guessing that Chicago thinks his struggles have been mostly injury related and that a change of scenery will help.
Chicago had similar success with Strome just last year. Nylander is only 21 and had a 50 point pace in the AHL last year. He'll likely get top 6 minutes in Chicago playing with the likes of Toews, Kane, Debrincat, Saad and Strome. Big chance for him to kick start his career.

The Hawks best prospects prior to this draft were d-man.
