There’s a No. 1 in the Second City Hockey Top 25 Under 25 Blackhawks player rankings as winger Alex DeBrincat moves up one spot. Even if Nick Schmaltz, who was the No. 1 last August, was still with the Blackhawks, DeBrincat would have taken the top spot.
Defensemen Henri Jokiharju and Adam Boqvist also moved up one spot. Goaltender Collin Delia jumps up seven spots, while Dylan Strome enters the fray at No. 5. Strome also was No. 5 in SB Nation’s Five For Howling’s Coyotes T25U25 list prior to the trade.
