Defense wins championships, and while the Chicago Blackhawks won’t be winning any championships anytime soon, their core group of defenders might already be around.
The Chicago Blackhawks depth on the blue line is pretty remarkable. The group features so many promising young defenders; the only issue is that there are so many other players ahead on the depth chart.
Today I think it might be fun to dive into the Blackhawks’ depth on their defensive sheet heading into 2021. While they have some high-end talent, many of their younger players are still a few years away from hitting their prime.
