As the Blackhawks prepare for their offseason and assessment of this terrible campaign, evaluations have been going on with certain players from the coaching staff's perspective. Head coach Luke Richardson has been seeing which players would fit in their mold going forward next year and who will not.
One such player who has come into question is Blackhawks' young forward Phillip Kurashev. The 23-year-old centerman was drafted in the 2018 NHL draft by Chicago in the fourth round, 120th choice overall.
