Samuel Savoie (#67) is a menace on the ice. He’s puts David Jiricek (#11) on his rear end and then one punches him in a fight. Savoie is 5’10” and Jiricek is 6’4”. #Blackhawks#IceHogs#HawksProspects
Artyom Levshunov now leads all AHL defensemen in shots on goal (70). Reminder that he’s only 19-years-old and playing his first year of pro hockey. #Blackhawks#IceHogs#HawksProspects
In the latest 32 Thoughts, @FriedgeHNIC said that a source that he really trusts thinks the top four will go as follows:
1. Matthew Schaefer
2. Michael Misa
3. Anton Frondell
4. Caleb Desnoyers
Per @ByScottPowers and @MarkLazerus of The Athletic, the #Blackhawks offered their unprotected 2025 first-round pick and a 2025 second-round pick to the #CBJ for the fourth-overall pick.
The Hawks would have taken Ivan Demidov at #4. The trade was “close” but fell through.
Hoping that Colton Dach (#28) is ok. What a dirty play by Zachary L’Heureux. Not anything new from L’Heureux either as he was suspended nine times in the QMJHL (including one 10 game suspension). #Blackhawks#Preds#IceHogs
