Scott Powers at The Athletic published a really good Q&A with new Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill on Monday morning. He talks about a lot of things, from Connor Bedard’s growth and expectations to development and roster decisions. Highly recommend you read it; Scott always does exceptional work. But here’s one part of a comment from Blashill that I like when he was asked about how he defines “winning culture” and how that becomes a thing:
“each winning culture has is … the leaders of the team and the best players play winning hockey. So that’s going to be an expectation for our leaders and best players is that they play winning hockey, they handle the risk/reward of the game.”

— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) September 8, 2025 A reminder: the Blackhawks’ prospects will be in Minnesota to face the prospects from the Wild and Blues this weekend for the Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase. As of the writing of this piece, we still don’t have the roster from the Blackhawks. Still no news on the Wyatt Kaiser contract situation. With prospects in the building this week — and captain’s skates — this would seem to be an important week for this to get done. So stay tuned… It’s noteworthy when considering which players might be invited to this Showcase that some might have NHL experience. I would be on board with Oliver Moore getting some run this weekend. The Canadiens announced their prospect camp roster on Monday morning and Ivan Demidov will be there. Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov and Metallurg Magnitogorsk started their regular season in the KHL this weekend. Kantserov is wearing an A for the squad this season. He did not record a point in the first game of the new campaign. One more quote from Blashill from the Powers Q&A. This is part of his response when asked about how to balance winning (or lack thereof) with player development:For me, development and winning go hand in hand. I’ve always felt that. I feel that in the short term, in the long term. Once we kind of have our team set this year, the best way to raise our ceiling is for our individual players to get better. That’s not just our young players. That is every player on our roster. Focus on them, continue to rise their game to get better. That’s how you continue to push your ceiling further and further north.
