Blackhawks Projected Lines for 2023-24 Season

Hall - Bedard - Reichel
Athanasiou - Johnson - Raddysh
Kurashev - Dickinson - Blackwell
Foligno - Donato - Perry

Roos - Jones
Tinordi - Murphy
Kaiser - Zaistev

Mrazek

One thing that isn't going to work is Cole Guttman being a healthy scratch. He's young and is coming off a good first term with the Hawks. Guttman had 4 goals and 2 assists, tallying up to 6 points in 14 games last season. His season was cut short due to a season-ending shoulder injury that required surgery.

Another thing is the left side of the defense. The right side is pretty strong with Seth Jones and Connor Murphy, but the left - not so much. That left side is going to be bad, especially with Mrazek in net.
