Two of the four prospects injured were first-round picks Adam Boqvist and Kirby Dach. 

Kirby Dach, Adam Boqvist, and Nicolas Beaudin headline the Blackhawks' roster for the annual Traverse City prospect tournament.

The Blackhawks' captain is coming off of his best statistical season with 35 goals and 46 assists in 82 games.

After being dubbed the "breakout star" at Blackhawks development camp way back in 2016, Fortin has failed to make much noise in Rockford the last two seasons. He's tallied just ten goals and 23 assists in 100 games for the IceHogs.

The Blackhawks signed Swedish defenseman Philip Holm to a one-year, two-way contract worth $700,000 at the NHL level and $300,000 at the AHL level. The journeyman defenseman has played multiple seasons across Europe and has spent one season playing in North America.

If the Blackhawks are unable to get a deal done with Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Strome until next offseason, then they are going to have to be even more cautious with their money.

While Brandon Saad may have underwhelmed once again last year, some subliminal statistics suggest that he could be due for a bounce-back season.

Alexander Nylander, the 8th overall pick in 2016, has just 86 points in 165 career AHL games. In order for Nylander to silence the critics, all he has to do is produce consistently next season.
