The Blackhawks have a handful of quality, young prospects to place in their top-nine. Alex Nylander may not be one of them…
The Chicago Blackhawks have had a solid forward group for a long time now with Patrick Kane and Alex Debrincat leading the charge. The bottom six now holds the personnel you need on classic third and fourth lines (depending on strategy), so now we have to ask the question: Where does Alex Nylander fit in the lineup?
Top six predictions:
Alex Debrincat – Kirby Dach/Jonathan Toews – Patrick Kane
Dominik Kubalik – Toews/Dach – Henrik Borgstrom
The top-six is already full, so, hypothetically, the only open spots are on the third and fourth line.
