"From Davidson's first draft class, the first eight picks made by the Blackhawks (all in the first three rounds) have signed an entry-level contract with the Blackhawks. From this group, Nazar, Rinzel and Greene have already established themselves as NHL regulars."
"From this draft class, four of the Blackhawks' first six picks have signed their entry-level contracts. Bedard has emerged as a superstar, while Moore and Lardis were playing their first full professional seasons this year. Kantserov's KHL contract will expire in June and the expectation is that he signs and joins the Blackhawks this fall."
"From this draft class, Levshunov has been in the NHL this entire season. Boisvert just signed his entry-level contract on Monday. Vanacker and Spellacy previously signed their entry-level contracts and are finishing their OHL careers."
The Chicago Blackhawks continue building their roster through general manager Kyle Davidson's draft selections. From the 2022 draft, eight of the Blackhawks' first picks signed entry-level contracts, with Nazar, Rinzel, and Greene becoming NHL regulars. The 2023 draft class includes superstar Connor Bedard and four other first-six picks who have signed contracts, though some remain in development. The 2024 draft class shows strong progress with Levshunov already playing in the NHL this season and Boisvert recently signing his entry-level deal. Several prospects continue collegiate or professional development in preparation for NHL careers.
