Ranking the Chicago Blackhawks' Top 25 Prospects: No's. 11-15

We continue with the Chicago Blackhawks top-25 prospects list.

The Blackhawks' prospect pool has become one of the deepest in the NHL over the past few seasons. Because of this, many prospects could be interchanged with another for a particular spot on the list.

It is a good problem to have for the Blackhawks, as most teams in the league would like to have a deep prospect pool. This is where the list begins to get interesting, so let's get into the next five players on the Blackhawks top prospects list.

No. 15: Landon Slaggert (2020 Draft: Round 3 #79 overall)

Landon Slaggert was able to get a taste of NHL action this past season after completing his senior season at Notre Dame (NCAA). The 22-year-old scored one goal and added three assists in 16 games with the Blackhawks.

Ever since his freshman season at Notre Dame, fans have wondered when Slaggert would sign his entry-level contract with the Blackhawks. His 22 points in 25 games during his freshman year were enough to earn him a spot on the 2021 Team USA World Juniors roster where he won a gold medal.

After having a down-season of only 13 points in 35 games, Slaggert decided to stay at Notre Dame and finish out his senior year. His scoring came back in a big way, with the South Bend, Indiana, native scoring 20 goals in 36 games.

Slaggert's game is headlined by his work ethic.

He is the type of player who isn't afraid to go into the corners and retrieve pucks. It will be interesting to see how his offense translates to the professional game. He has shown the ability to score goals in the NCAA, but whether or not he can continue to score at the next level will show his true potential.

Going into the 2024-25 season, Slaggert will be fighting for a roster spot out of training camp. He was able to fill in the bottom six once he joined the Blackhawks, but the added forward depth on the roster could result in him starting the season in Rockford (AHL).

Slaggert's development will be interesting to watch this season. If he hits his potential, he has the potential to become an effective bottom-six winger in the NHL.
