The Blackhawks Organization Announces a Signing and It's Brining Back Bad Memories
The Rockford IceHogs have made announced a roster signing today, with a pick from the 2022 draft.
They have signed Shane Wright's teammate from the Kingston Frontenacs, Paul Ludwinski.
Ludwinski was drafted by Chicago in the 2nd round, 39th overall, and was signed to AHL Rockford for an amateur tryout.
Reading the reviews of Ludwinski reveals that the two-way Center has a lot of promise and is always dialed in on the ice.
Scouting Report: Paul Ludwinski
But there is something happening here that may not lend well to the Blackhawks rushing the 18-year-old into the AHL.... yes, 18.
Have we all forgotten how Kirby Dach's "development" was handled? He was drafted 3rd overall in the 1st round and brought into the AHL right away, before playing 3 games and being brought up to the NHL right away.
Look where Dach is now and ponder if Kyle Davidson shouldn't let Ludwinski develop more in the AHL and gain some confidence.
Not to say that isn't how it'll play out, but if Davidson makes Stan Bowman's mistakes, they'll lose out on another promising young talent, and in a rebuild, you need all the help you can get.
