The Chicago Blackhawks have some very nice young players. There isn’t enough there yet where you can be excited about the future as there is still a long way to go but there are some positives. As far as the future, it is led by Alex DeBrincat and Kirby Dach. They are both very good and can be leaders on a very good team. However, you cannot say that they are Patrick Kane or Jonathan Toews. Those guys are the first-ballot Hall of Fame type players that are a tick above everyone else in team history.
The Chicago Blackhawks have been lucky to have great players over the years.
DeBrincat is a 23 year old winger that is becoming a stud. When he played with Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome as a member of the Erie Otters, it was clear that he was going to make a great winger in the NHL if he had good playmaking around him. Well, he is actually looking even better than we originally thought because he can be a bit more than just a sniper. However, he isn’t at Patrick Kane’s level and likely never will be.
