Prospect Info: Chicago Blackhawks Top Prospects - #3

[Hawkaholic]

I mean, there's zero logic in having him 6 spots higher than Phillips.

Agreed, not sure why Vlasic gets hype.

 

[Caser]

Add Safonov.

 

[ClydeLee]

Powers list seems very, will be in the NHL this year influenced after the top 5 guys

Big drop off after the top 5. Will really need a couple d in the system to become legit 4-7.

Between Vlassic, Phillips, Kaiser, Del Mastro, Allen, Rinzel there has got to be two guys that hit. One middle pair guy, one bottom pair guy, hope Korchinski is more top pairing than #3, and hope one of the 1st round picks next draft turns into a top 4 RHD and we will be in really good shape to come out of the rebuild.

Hawks have 7 solid D prospects in Korchinski, Allan, Kaiser, Rinzel, Vlasic, Del Mastro and Phillips. Presumably the scouting department must believe there's something there after using no picks before the 7th round on D. Lots of high picks next year as well, so I imagine they'll look to add to it in the '24 Draft.

yeah but the russians never come over to play for the hawks, see Shalunov and the other kid they took in 2016...he's found money if he does come over

Shalunov did come over twice though, just the Blackhawks weren't interested. Also there was this kid named Altybarmakyan, however I don't think anyone benefited from him coming over.

 

[Larmer83]

My list

1) Bedard
2) Reichel
3) Korchinski
4) Moore
5) Nazar
6) Commesso
7) Rinzel
8) Kaiser
9) Greene
10) Subject to change on any given moment

the one I'm thinking of that turned out to be as solid player i believe is Kayumov, but thats fair that Shalunov did come over and the Hawks were not ready to give him a roster spot, team was much better at that time and don't think Shalunov was that good during his time in minors

Shalunov came to North America for the 2013-14 season. Not sure how much interest there has been with Kayumov as he isn’t that good but they hold his rights indefinitely if he wants to take a crack.

Hopefully if Kantserov progresses well he will want to come over sooner rather than later.
