These 3 Chicago Blackhawks' Prospects Have Quietly Had Very Promising Seasons

In all professional sports, having a deep prospect pool full of incoming talent is key toward current and future success of the team. The Chicago Blackhawks rebuild has seen a plethora of young talent join the organization in a short amount of time.

As a result, the Blackhawks have one of the league's top prospect pools with many young players showing traits that could help them carve out an NHL role someday. Though, having a large amount of prospects means that some will fly under the radar and end up being overshadowed by the "heavy hitters" in the pool.

For the Blackhawks, that is a good problem to have. The more young players that are succeeding in their respective leagues brings only more hope for the future.

These are three Chicago Blackhawks' prospects who have put together successful seasons despite not getting as much recognition as others.

Ryan Greene

Greene is far from being an unknown prospect to Blackhawks fans, but his production this season is surely worth being discussed more.

Playing in his third year at Boston University (NCAA), Greene has been having his best season yet. The 2022 second-round pick has tallied 23 points in 21 games, the first time in his collegiate career that he is projected to finish with over a point per game.

Greene is not the flashiest player in the world, but he has an all-around game and is strong at both ends of the ice. His two-way game tied in with his skating and playmaking have been valuable assets to BU in his time playing in the NCAA.

There is much to like about Greene's game on and off the ice. For starters, he wears the coveted "C" on his jersey as BU's captain and brings leadership qualities as well as a strong understanding of the game from an offensive and defensive perspective.

It is reasonable to believe that Greene will sign his entry-level contract with the Blackhawks after his collegiate season concludes and will jump into action with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) when that time comes.
