The future of the Chicago Blackhawks is now. Young prospects Evan Barratt and Andrei Altybarmakyan were signed today to entry-level contracts, where they can go up and down between the Blackhawks and the IceHogs for their first 160 games.
With the future being now, I am also adding forwards Dylan Strome, Alex DeBrincat, Dominik Kubalik, and Kirby Dach into the mix. Defensively, they look solid for the future too with Adam Boqvist and Ian Mitchell (expected to play sometime next season).
