Last season was the year of the Blackhawks forward prospect.
It all started with Alex DeBrincat and his crazy production, but there were plenty of other forward prospects who were putting up numbers around the world. It may be easy to forget now, but John Hayden was actually a college prospect last season too.
This season feels like it has the potential to be the year of the Blackhawks defenseman prospect. Of course, there is forward prospect Dylan Sikura, who could be in the Blackhawks’ lineup by the end of the season. But beyond him, there are a lot of defensemen to keep eye on.
