The Chicago Blackhawks' rookie camp will be back on the ice this morning, as they prepare for a pair of games at this weekend’s Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase. Yesterday, I focused on the top tier of prospects we’re seeing this week; the guys who will get significant National Hockey League minutes this season, like Artyom Levshunov, Sam Rinzel, and Oliver Moore.
The next tier of prospects this week includes Ryan Greene, Nick Lardis, Aidan Thompson, and Martin Misiak, who are all entering their first full professional seasons. This week not only gives them a head start on the rest of the training camp roster, but also allows them to open the eyes of the coaching staff early.
