System Analysis
The Blackhawks' system is heavily skewed towards forwards, with a notable lack of high-end defensive or goaltending prospects. Anton Frondell and Roman Kantserov are the top offensive prospects, but the overall depth is questionable. The system needs significant bolstering on the blue line and in net to achieve a more balanced outlook.
