2. Chicago Blackhawks: Artyom Levshunov, RHD, Michigan State-Big Ten
Our colleague Scott Powers believes it’s down to Levshunov or SKA winger Ivan Demidov for Chicago. Both are great prospects, but history has shown if it’s close the
NHL team often will lean to the big defenseman over the smaller winger.
20. Chicago Blackhawks: Igor Chernyshov, RW, Dynamo Moscow-KHL
Teams have Chernyshov rated a bit higher than this on talent but because he is Russian, I could see him get to around the 20 spot. His size, speed, skill and compete could be highly intriguing to Chicago.
