Chicago Blackhawks’ Prospect Update, Early March Edition

Pro level prospects

Kyle Baun

The next season he was projected as a third-line forward. He played two games before being sent to Rockford. After being sent down to Rockford, Baun got injured and missed three months. He has spent the last two seasons with the IceHogs.
