Scott Powers / Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago Jul 25, 2014 Early Hawks' '14-'15 NHL lineup projections
The Chicago Blackhawks still have to make a move or two before the season begins to get under the salary cap so their roster will change in the near future. But let's take a glance at what the organization could look like at the NHL and AHL levels based on the current roster. In the first of two parts, here are projections for the NHL level: Projected lines LW Patrick Sharp -- C Jonathan Toews -- RW Marian Hossa LW Brandon Saad -- C Brad Richards -- RW Patrick Kane LW Bryan Bickell -- C Andrew Shaw -- RW TBD (Jeremy Morin/Kris Versteeg) LW TBD (Peter Regin/Brandon Mashinter/Morin/Versteeg)...
Scott Powers / Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago Jul 24, 2014 Schmaltz leaves strong first impression
CHICAGO -- Nick Schmaltz may just be a future linemate for Jonathan Toews or Patrick Kane with the Chicago Blackhawks. Schmaltz is only 18 years old and heading into his freshman year at North Dakota, so he won’t be joining the duo anytime soon. But with Kane and Toews signing their eight-year extensions and Schmaltz showing off some rare offensive ability at the Blackhawks prospect camp last week, it’s not a complete reach to envision Schmaltz complementing one of their lines down the line.
Scott Powers / Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago Jul 22, 2014 Hawks could accelerate college prospects
The Chicago Blackhawks are bursting at the seams as an organization with NHL-caliber players. For the most part, that's a good situation to be in. But one of the potential issues has come to light this year. As seen in the case of Kevin Hayes, the Blackhawks' 2010 first-round draft pick, their prospects have the option of waiting out the period the organization owns their rights and they can decide to become free agents. The Blackhawks put a lot of time into working to develop Hayes over the last four-plus years, and it will be a disappointment for them if he doesn't sign, which is unlikely...

Blackhawks top national TV slate with 20 games
The Blackhawks' overtime loss to the L.A. Kings in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals surely broke hearts in Chicago, but few would argue that it was great television--perhaps the NHL's most rivoting viewing of the season.

Scott Powers / Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago Jul 20, 2014 Who stood out at Hawks prospect camp
CHICAGO – The Chicago Blackhawks wrapped up their annual prospect camp Friday. The camp entailed mostly skill work and practice for players under entry-level contracts, but unsigned prospects had a number of chances to compete throughout. Here are some of those prospects who stood out during the six-day gathering at Johnny’s IceHouse West: John Hayden, forward, third-round pick in 2013: Hayden made an impression with his size and offensive ability during the week -- including on Chicago general manager Stan Bowman, who mentioned him first after the camp.

Scott Powers / Chicago Blackhawks Blog | ESPN Chicago Jul 20, 2014 Johns uses prospect camp to build NHL case
CHICAGO -- Stephen Johns is an old pro when it comes to the Chicago Blackhawks prospect camp. Johns, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound defenseman, attended his fifth prospect camp this past week since being selected by the Blackhawks in the second round of the 2010 draft. This year’s prospect camp did have a different feel for Johns than the previous four. Unlike the other ones, this year’s camp wasn’t leading into another year at Notre Dame for him.
