Blackhawks Daily: The Prospect Pipeline Countdown

The low point of the summer is here when it comes to the NHL calendar. The most exciting thing to do is rank prospects from around the league.

Chicago Hockey Now is going to be doing that for the Chicago Blackhawks. In that link, you’ll find how things have changed since the last time we ranked things.

There have been a few players who haven’t shown much yet while there are a few examples of players who came out of nowhere to be impactful.

Now, coming into 2024-25, there are a few new faces to move into the mix while graduating certain players like Connor Bedard, Kevin Korchinski, and Alex Vlasic amongst others.

Where does second-overall pick Artyom Levshunov fit into all of this? How about Sacha Boisvert who was their 18th overall pick in the first round? Frank Nazar made his NHL debut after a great year with Michigan but where does he fall on this list?

All of these questions are going to be answered by ranking the top ten and naming a few honorable mentions. There are sure to be a few surprises along with a few obvious ones. Keep with Chicago Hockey Now all week for more along with these great stories:
