The Chicago Blackhawks have plenty of exciting young players on their roster who could become nice pieces for them later down the road. Forward Colton Dach is certainly one of them, as the 22-year-old forward has shown promise early on his professional career.
The Chicago Blackhawks have plenty of exciting young players on their roster who could become nice pieces for them later down the road. Forward Colton Dach is certainly one of them, as the 22-year-old forward has shown promise early on his professional career.
Dach played in his first 25 NHL games this past season with the Blackhawks, where he recorded two goals, five assists, seven points, and 86 hits. With numbers like these, he chipped in a bit offensively, but more notably stood out due to his immense physicality. With this, he certainly should compete for a spot in the Blackhawks' bottom six next season.
Down in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Rockford IceHogs in 2024-25, Dach played very well, posting 12 goals, 14 assists, and 26 points in just 33 games. This was after he had 11 goals and 16 points in 48 games with the AHL squad in 2023-24. With numbers like these in the AHL, it would not be surprising in the slightest if Dach gets his offense up a bit more with the Blackhawks next season.
With all of this, there is no question that Dach is a prospect who should not be slept on. The prospect of him blossoming into a solid top-nine forward at the NHL level is there, and it is going to be very fascinating to see what kind of campaign he has with the Blackhawks in 2025-26 because of it.
Blackhawks Have Interesting Potential Target In Ex-Bruins ForwardWhen looking at the Chicago Blackhawks' current roster, it is fair to argue that they could use a bit more forward depth. Due to this, bringing in another potential option for their bottom six could be smart for the Original Six club.
