An interesting few stats from NHL.com’s EDGE-driven preview of the Blackhawks that posted last week on Ryan Donato last season: he “finished in the 94th percentile among forwards in high-danger goals (18), 82nd percentile in high-danger shots on goal (55) and 95th percentile in high-danger shooting percentage (32.7).”
Those high-danger areas are somewhere I think the Blackhawks want Landon Slaggert to start frequently visiting with an emphasis on getting the puck on net. In only 33 NHL games last season, Slaggert finished in the upper-half of the league (53rd percentile) in speed bursts over 20 mph (65 total). Donato had 77 of such bursts in 80 games played. Slaggert plays the game faster than Donato, but his skillset could make him an effective player in a similar role to Donato.
As I’ve mentioned before, a couple people inside the organization have compared Slaggert to Brandon Hagel in the past. Donato is a good role model for Slaggert to watch and follow.
Fabulous read from Scott Powers at The Athletic on first-round pick Václav Nestrašil. It’s a great story that focuses on his much older brother, Andrej, and his hockey journey that included stops with the Red Wings and Hurricanes. Andrej is now 34 playing overseas. His younger brother will report to UMass for his freshman collegiate season. Highly recommend this one!Sixteen years after his brother Andrej was drafted to the NHL, Václav Nestrašil brought his family’s hockey story full circle by being drafted by the Blackhawks.Their family story ⤵️ t.co/Cr2OEToRUc
— Scott Powers (@ByScottPowers) August 13, 2025 I’m putting together my top 25 all-time Blackhawks list to run next week. I’m curious: who do you consider an all-time great Blackhawks player who might not make that top-25 cut? In 100 years of hockey there have been some terrific players in Chicago. Let me know in the comments who you think might be on the cut line for my list. And stay tuned for that series starting Monday. Black Friday is Nov. 28 this year, and we’re going to have plenty to watch as Chicago sports fans. The Bears are in Philadelphia to play the defending champion Eagles at 2 PM CT. The Bulls are in Charlotte to face the Hornets at 6:30 PM CT. And the Blackhawks host the Predators at the United Center at 7 PM CT. Get fresh batteries for those remotes, folks! The Carolina Hurricanes’ owner, Tom Dundon, is jumping into the NBA ownership world. But he isn’t staying “local” in Carolina. He’s reportedly buying the Portland Trail Blazers.NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon has agreed to buy the Portland Trail Blazers from the estate of Paul G. Allen for a valuation of over $4 billion, sources tell ESPN.
