Yesterday, we updated our BN Top 20 Blackhawks Prospects in the wake of the World Juniors coming to a close. It just so happened that Corey Pronman at The Athletic dropped his analysis of the Blackhawks’ system yesterday as well. There are a couple names that are missing from one of the two rankings: Ian Mitchell and Philipp Kurashev. We graduated Kurashev from our prospect rankings after he spent almost the entire last year in the NHL (he played three games in Rockford and 67 in Chicago). He projects as a bottom-six NHL center with the potential to play higher in a lineup.
