Five Blackhawks Forwards Fighting For the Final Roster Spot(s)We’re getting closer to training camp opening for the Chicago Blackhawks, and I’ve been spending some time warming up with some thoughts on the Blackhawks’ roster construction heading into the new year. A quick look at the guys we’re putting on the NHL roster for the opener in Pittsburgh shows the Blackhawks having very few spots available. Connor Bedard will be in Pittsburgh as the one true rookie in the Blackhawks’ forward group. What complicates matters more for Reese is the additions of Perry and Foligno give the Blackhawks additional physicality, and that has been his primary function on the NHL roster. Keeping Katchouk’s size on the NHL roster would hurt Reese’s chances even further.
