"Frondell, who has already signed to his entry-level contract, was named the best forward in this year's World Junior Championship as he helped Sweden win the entire tournament. He's seen his ice time fluctuate with Djurgårdens in the SHL this season, but we need to keep in mind that he's playing in the top level league in Sweden."
"Kantserov, who doesn't turn 22 until the end of September, continues to lead the KHL in scoring and is playing at a ridiculous pace. His contract in the KHL expires in June, so we should learn his immediate future at some point in the coming months. He has said that he wants to play in the NHL."
The Blackhawks prospect rankings have been updated as the trade deadline and final regular season weeks approach. Anton Frondell, who signed his entry-level contract and was named the best forward at the World Junior Championship with Sweden, leads the rankings while playing in Sweden's top SHL league. Roman Kantserov, a 21-year-old right winger, continues dominating KHL scoring and has expressed interest in joining the NHL when his contract expires in June. Sam Rinzel, a right-defenseman, was recently recalled to the Blackhawks. Notable changes include goalie Stanislav Berezhnoy falling out of the top 20 due to a 20-game AHL suspension. The rankings now include prospect birthdates for reference.
