Anton Frondell was drafted third overall by the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday .

The prospect struggled at the IIHF Under-18 World Championship in Frisco , Texas , in May .

He said the change in time zones, minutes and offensive expectations proved to be too much for him.

In 29 games with Djurgården ’s senior team, Frondell put up 11 goals and 14 assists.

Hawks amateur scouting director Mike Doneghey recalled how Frondel “came on the scene to us probably two years ago in Plymouth at one of the Five Nations tournaments.
