The Chicago Blackhawks landed a high-profile rookie in the 2023 NHL Draft, but beyond that, they've got some talented names that will play a key role in this organization for years to come.

A talented young name

One of those names was taken in the third round of the 2022 NHL Draft in Sam Savoie, who put up a career year of 26 goals and 59 points in 60 games in the QMJHL a season ago.
Now, the 19-year old was expected to push for a roster spot in 2023-24, but unfortunately, after just nine minutes of ice time in his pre-season debut, he took a hard spill into the boards before being carted off the ice.

A devastating loss

Now, the Blackhawks have confirmed the worst for Savoie, as he has successfully undergone surgery to repair his femur, but that could likely result in him missing the entirety of the 2023-24 season.
Still, at 19-years of age, the young winger has plenty of time to recover and develop into the player that we've seen he can be, and if that happens, he'll be a key piece of this team for years to come.
