League-Leading 11 Blackhawks Top New Young Player, Prospect Rankings - 
Yeah, we’re getting closer to training camp. Which means we’re getting loaded up with player and prospect rankings in end-of-summer editions and updates. And the Blackhawks are getting plenty of mentions this year. On Thursday morning, Scott Wheeler published his third annual “NHL Prospect Tiers” piece. I will say, the use of the word “prospect” is a bit of a misnomer; this is his ranking of the top 145 young players in the NHL and affiliated prospects. It’s a bit of a companion piece to the Player Tiers piece done each year at The Athletic that attempts to rank players.

New Player Rankings, an Elite Bedard Card, Rookie GIFs, and Other Blackhawks Bullets - 
On Wednesday, a collection of folks at The Athletic published their new season Player Tiers list/rankings. They break players down into categories and offer some analysis. Only three Blackhawks made the macro list: Connor Bedard (who was in the third tier – “All-Star”), Bowen Byram and Spencer Knight (who were in the fifth tier – “Support”). I thought the comments about Byram were interesting: Byram, who went from the Sabres’ No. 3 defenseman to the Blackhawks’ No. 1 this summer, didn’t initially make the cut owing to his lack of a track record

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 -

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

That dominant regular season did not translate into a championship, unfortunately. The Avalanche had to make some tough roster decisions this summer.

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 ̵
