With the offseason still dragging on, it’s time for Second City Hockey to unveil its 2020 offseason edition of the Blackhawks Top 25 Under 25 series.
Each player on the top 25 list has been profiled in a separate article with a trio of honorable mentions noted at the end.
The last rankings came about one year prior in the middle of the 2019-20 season. Since then, Dominik Kubalik (No. 5) graduated from the list due to age and Dylan Sikura (No. 11) left the organization via trade. Two recent additions to the Blackhawks organization debuted in the top ten: 2020 first-round pick Lukas Reichel (No. 6) and another Blackhawks’ European import: Pius Suter (No. 8).
