Fourth-round pick, Michal Teply, could be an important piece in the Blackhawks youth movement.

During the offseason, Stan Bowman, General Manager and President of Hockey Operations, announced that the Chicago Blackhawks would start focusing on the youth in the organization. Fan favorites Corey Crawford and Brandon Saad were gone.

A hot free agency period came and went without any big moves. Bowman made the rounds on Blackhawks podcasts reiterating the need to develop young players under head coach Jeremy Colliton.

Potentially, Kirby Dach, Adam Boqvist, Alex DeBrincat will lead the charge as Toews, Kane, and Keith enter the latter parts of their careers.
