Ranking the Chicago Blackhawks' Top 25 Prospects: No's. 16-20

No. 19: Colton Dach (2021 Draft: Round 2 #62 overall)

After and up-and-down rookie season in the AHL, Colton Dach lands at number nineteen on this list.

The younger brother of former Blackhawk Kirby Dach, Colton is a big winger, standing at six-foot, four inches, with a knack for scoring.

In his debut season with the IceHogs, Dach finished with 27 points in 48 games. His first half of the campaign was very strong and made some fans wonder if he would earn a call-up to the NHL. However, he went on concussion protocol in late December and his production hit a wall once he returned.

Injuries are a concern for Dach and have been ever since his time in the juniors. Dach has the tools to be a solid winger in the NHL when healthy.

His skating is below average, but his size and hockey IQ are a strength and have helped him produce at just about every level thus far. His shot is among his best assets and he uses his size well when around the front of the net.

If Dach is able to stay healthy, he could be due for an NHL call-up sooner rather than later. His health and consistency are going to be his biggest hurdles going forward.

No. 18: Martin Misiak (2023 Draft: Round 2 #55 overall)

Martin Misiak finds himself at 18 on this list after a "so-so" 2023-24 season.

The 55th overall pick in the 2023 draft finished his first Ontario Hockey League (OHL) season with 47 points in 60 games for the Eerie Otters.

Misiak is a player who has the tools and is waiting to put it all together. At six-foot, one inch, and 201 pounds, Misiak has the size and skating ability to help him succeed at the next level.

A hard-working winger with good puck handling and a developing two-way game, Misiak shows glimpses of what he could be in the future, but his skills are still a bit raw. With more development, Misiak has the potential to shoot up the rankings in the Blackhawks system.

This season will likely see the young Slovakian winger return to Eerie for his final OHL season before joining the IceHogs in 2025-26. He has a versatile game but needs more time to polish his play style before becoming a professional. However, the tools Misiak has could make him a potential middle-six contributor in the NHL one day.
