What could the Chicago Blackhawks lines look like for this upcoming season?

Goaltending

The goaltending is the most obvious for the Blackhawks going into this season. Laurent Brossoit was one of the top free agent goaltenders after a strong 15-5-2 season with the Winnipeg Jets.

The 31-year old signed a two-year contract with the Blackhawks and will likely split the starts with Petr Mrazek, giving more balance to their goaltending tandem.

Mrazek was stellar for the Blackhawks last season and was the reason a lot of their games were closer than they should have been. Despite the record, he was arguably the most valuable member of the team in 2023-24.

Arvid Soderblom will go back to Rockford this season and split starts with Drew Commesso, who is going into his second professional season. It was clear that Soderblom needs more time to develop before the Blackhawks know what they have with him, he is still young for a goaltender.

All in all, the Blackhawks roster is much deeper than it was last year. It is unknown about where young players like Frank Nazar will play, but it is likely the team decides to stack up their AHL roster to develop their youth before bringing them up to the NHL.

There will be plenty of speculating on the Blackhawks roster from now until training camp, but this should make for an exciting season of Blackhawks hockey.
