The Chicago Blackhawks are lucky to have Brandon Hagel on their team. This was his first season in the NHL and he already has made an imprint on the roster.
The Blackhawks last season was not great at times. While the team was finding its way, they lost a few games they should have won along the way. The franchise did miss out on the playoffs for the third time in four seasons, and even that one season was a little iffy considering it involved the qualifiers.
