Note: For this report, any player under the age of 25 at the start of the season and with an NHL contract will be considered a Blackhawks prospect (the exception is Marcel Marcel, who is on an AHL contract but was drafted last year). This iteration of the AHL report will only include players who have played at least 5 games since the last update (so no Cole Guttman, Isaak Phillips, or Louis Crevier).
