It’s no secret the Chicago Blackhawks’ goaltending situation, from the NHL level on down, is far from perfect. Corey Crawford‘s health is a mystery, and every backup the Blackhawks tried out last season either struggled or didn’t receive enough time in net to really evaluate.
Now, the Blackhawks have veteran Cam Ward signed while Crow’s future is still uncertain. Wouter Peeters could be the next guy, or Collin Delia could take that mantle. But the only thing that’s certain with the Blackhawks’ present crop of goalies is that nothing is certain.
Which is why this week’s prospect camp is especially important for the goaltenders in attendance.
