The Chicago Blackhawks were officially eliminated from the NHL playoff race recently. However, the team is still making moves, having just signed a new standout member from the NCAA.

While Chicago is no longer in the race for the Stanley Cup this season, they are clearly aiming to build a lineup of standout rookies with high potential. After acquiring the highly sought-after Connor Bedard, the team officially announced the acquisition of a potential partner in crime in Landon Slaggert.

Now that time has passed since being a third-round pick in 2020, Slaggert had just come off his best season in the NCAA playing with Notre Dame, having a total of 31 points. His contract is a 2-year deal with a cap of a little over $900k.

While it remains to be seen how soon this player will join the lineup, it will certainly be fascinating to watch Chicago continue to foster burgeoning young players into future NHL legends.
