Kantserov at Center? Slaggert’s Role, Devils Get Evangelista, and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
When considering the Blackhawks’ bottom six for the coming season, the mindset of especially the fourth line is more of a defensive posture. In doing some digging on other things, I found myself studying how the Blackhawks’ coaches deployed the forwards last season — and what it might mean in the coming year. Looking at which Blackhawks forwards had the highest percentage of their starts come “on the fly” last year was interesting. According to MoneyPuck, the Hawks’ leader was Landon Slaggert at 64.8 percent, followed by Oliver Moore (62.3), Ryan Donato (62) and Nick Lardis (61.3). There’s a decent correlation between that and the Blackhawks who started the highest percentage of shifts in the defensive zone; Donato (11 percent) r

Blackhawks 2026-27 Preview: Defensemen -
As we continue our previews looking ahead to the 2026-27 season of Chicago Blackhawks hockey, we now turn our attention to the blue line. The Blackhawks made the most headlines this summer with their bold decision to make a blockbuster trade and add Bowen Byram. That deal brings in an accomplished defenseman who has played in a couple cities that enjoyed a fair amount of winning. What I like best about the Byram addition is the journey last year’s Sabres took to the postseason. On Dec. 24, they were in seventh place in the Atlantic Division (18-14-4). They ended the season 50-23-9 and won the division, ending t

Blackhawks Kantserov, Frondell Among Top Calder Trophy Candidates in New Rankings -
On Tuesday, the trio of Scott Wheeler, Harman Dayal and Corey Pronman at The Athletic ranked the top 20 Calder Trophy candidates for the 2026-27 season. They ranked Blackhawks forwards Roman Kantserov at No. 5 and Anton Frondell at No. 7. I was interested that Kantserov received the higher billing than Frondell. Here’s what Wheeler wrote about Frondell: Frondell surprised some, this writer included, with his 9-in-12 start and just how much he looked like he immediately belonged in the NHL in the spring. Doing that over 84 games is something else altogether, especially as a center — though I’ve al

Blackhawks 2026-27 Preview: Goaltending -
Today we’re going to begin our series of previews looking ahead to the 2026-27 season for the Chicago Blackhawks. We’re breaking the previews up into goalies, defensemen and forwards. And we’ll start in the blue paint with the Hawks’ goaltending situation. There were plenty of holes in the Blackhawks’ performance last year, but there were also areas where we saw good growth and development. I would argue the biggest positive sign last year was the emergence of a legit No. 1 goalie in Chicago who could be a foundational piece to take the entire program to the next level(s). Spencer Knight showed that he’s ready to lead the depth chart and is good enough to win games the Hawks maybe shouldn’t. Having a legit No. 1 goalie is important. Two areas where the Blackhawks can help their goaltenders look better are allowing fewer shots on net and blocking more shots before they get to their netminders. Last year

Danny Briere explains why the Flyers never did a full teardown rebuild -
The most divisive thing within the Philadelphia Flyers fan base is whether or not this current rebuilding plan is going to work. Instead of going with the typical rebuild in the NHL, where a team trades just about everything valuable on their team or any player over the age of 25, to then absolutely suck for at least three or four seasons, draft very high to get elite prospects and then build their new team around that, the Flyers did something much more unorthodox. The Flyers decided to keep their team largely in-tact and the front office led by Danny Briere decided to do more trimming around the edges. There was a fair amount of rebuilding trades — moving Ivan Provorov, trading Sean Walker when the team was in the playoff mix, and the Scott Laughton trade are the obvious ones ̵

PK Questions, 98 Highlights, Makar Money, and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
Thinking about the Blackhawks roster heading into the new season, my mind wandered to the penalty kill. Last year, the Hawks had one of the top units in the NHL; they were the best in the league before the trade deadline. I think we can safely assume the first two defensemen over the boards on the PK will be Alex Vlasic and Ian Cole this season. But, looking beyond those two, there are some questions. Wyatt Kaiser will likely see an increased role. But who will be the fourth defenseman killing penalties? Last year in Buffalo, Bowen Byram spent almost the same total ice time killing penalties (133:06 — 1:37 per game) as he did on the power play (131:02 — 1:36 per game). Assuming he’ll be part of the Blackhawks’ top power play unit, Chicago’s coaches may look at backing him off the penalty kill. And, considering Vlasic, Cole and Kaiser are all left-handed, there might be an opp

Blackhawks Know Thy Enemy: Dallas Stars Offseason Reset -
Today we move our offseason reset series across the Central Division to Dallas, where the Stars had an eventful summer — because of one player. The trade rumors and subsequent extension drama that surrounded superstar Jason Robertson resulted in a one-year contract that has a $12M cap hit. It also gets him to unrestricted free agency next summer, if he doesn’t sign an extension before getting there. With the Robertson deal on the books, the Stars find themselves over the cap. The precarious health of veteran forward Tyler Seguin clouds their ability to do much to improve their roster; they had some noteworthy departures this summer they’ll have to offset with their limited additions.

Cale Makar Signs HUGE Record-Setting Extension with Avalanche -
Remember that time, back in the day, when Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram was going to have the highest average annual value in the history of the NHL for a defenseman? Those were good times. But… that will never happen. Because Cale Makar just got a bag from the Colorado Avalanche. On Friday, the Avalanche announced a history-making, record-shattering extension for Makar that will begin in the 2027-28 season (the same as Byram). The deal is an

Which Blackhawks Veterans Could Get Off to a Fast Start? -
Starting the season well is always critical. As the old saying goes, you can’t make the playoffs in the first month… but you can make the battle to get in a lot harder. And this season is expected to be a big step forward for the Chicago Blackhawks, which means they’ll want to get off to a hot start. What makes it hard to determine which Blackhawks could, based on their track record, get off to a hot start is how young the roster is going to be in the 2026-27 season. Anton Frondell and Roman Kantserov have yet to begin a season in the NHL. Even Frank Nazar, who is technically entering his third pro season (the first was burned on an incredibly brief period at the end of a season), has only appeared in 11 games in October in his career. So, limiting our digging to players who have a relatively deep track record of October appearances, which Blackhawks have shown signs of being hotter than usua

A Nazar Mea Culpa, Connor’s C? Makar Deal Coming? Hellebuyck! and Other Blackhawks Bullets -
I realize leading off our Friday bullets here might be choosing violence first thing in the morning, but let’s go. On Thursday, Corey Pronman re-ranked the 2022 NHL Draft class, which was interesting to me for a few reasons. First, Pronman has never been a big fan of Frank Nazar… but he appears to have warmed to the reality that Frank’s a pretty good player. How did he rank Nazar this time around? Also, this was the first draft class of Kyle Davidson’s tenure at Blackhawks general manager… and Kevin Korchinski
