Ranking the Chicago Blackhawks' Top 25 Prospects: No's 6-10

No. 6: Sacha Boisvert (2024 Draft: Round 1 #18 overall)

The 18th overall selection in the most recent draft by the Blackhawks, Sacha Boisvert brings size and high intelligence to the Blackhawks system.

The 6-foot-2-inch center played the last two seasons with the Muskegon Lumberjacks in the USHL where he tallied 68 points in 61 games this past season. His 36 goals give fans a glimpse of the kind of deception Boisvert brings to the table.

Boisvert's skillset is still fairly raw at this point in his development, but he shows the upside of being an exciting player in the future. He has an accurate shot and sees the ice very well. As a center, it helps to have great vision and Boisvert has just that.

As a shoot-first type of player, Boisvert utilizes his high hockey IQ and size well when the puck is on his stick. He analyzes plays at a high level, often showing strong positioning at both ends of the ice.

His skating is not as strong as others in the prospect pool, but it is not a major weakness. The skating is fairly average and his playmaking is also average as well. Neither of those components drag his game down, but are both areas for him to improve upon in the coming seasons.

Boisvert also brings an edge to his game, he is not afraid to get physical and bring up the intensity during a game.

This season, Boisvert will join University of North Dakota in the NCAA. He will likely spend a couple of seasons there before turning pro.
