As the Chicago Blackhawks look ahead to resetting their record with a fresh slate, it provides a perfect opportunity for anyone ready to step up their play and blossom into a household name.

When next season gets underway, it will be Alexander Nylander’s second with the Chicago Blackhawks. They acquired him in July 2019 in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres. In his three prior seasons, while playing with the Sabres, Nylander only accumulated a total of 19 games played so his sample size left a lot to the imagination.
