Round 3B: Marek Vanacker, F/Brantford Bulldogs

Marek Vanacker has a thinner build, but he, like many mid-tier prospects, will have time to develop his muscle and strength. He’s already showing he can produce at a sensational level, and it’s what makes him an incredible mid-round pick and a potential steal. 

Round 4: Benjamin Rautiainen, LW/Tappara

Benjamin Rautiainen would be a ton of fun to follow as a B-prospect, thanks to the fact he will make at least a few electrifying plays per game, many of which lead to points. He saw time in 44 regular season and playoff games this past season in U20 SM-sarja and put up 37 goals and 80 points in the process.

Round 6: Noa Vali, G/TPS

Yes, he is another goaltender, and despite his small size for a netminder, few opponents have been lucky enough to get the best of him in Finland at the U20 SM-sarja level. He even played well in Liiga for his age and experience, and like a few prospects listed, Vali could reward the Blackhawks in time for taking a chance on him should this occur on June 29th.
