With the Blackhawks signing of Sacha Boisvert to his entry-level contract officially official on Monday, the Blackhawks add another player selected by general manager Kyle Davidson to the payroll.
Which brings us to our friendly update of how many of Davidson’s picks have signed with the club.
2022 NHL Draft
1-7 — Kevin Korchinski, LHD – signed1-13 — Frank Nazar, C – signed1-25 — Sam Rinzel, RHD – signed2-39 — Paul Ludwinski, C – signed2-57 — Ryan Greene, C – signed3-66 — Gavin Hayes, F – signed3-81 — Samuel Savoie, F – signed3-90 — Aidan Thompson, F – signed (+ traded)6-173 — Dominic James, C6-188 — Nils Juntorp, F7-199 — Riku Tohila, C
From Davidson’s first draft class, the first eight picks made by the Blackhawks (all in the first three rounds) have signed an entry-level contract with the Blackhawks. The Hawks tried to sign James after his career at Minnesota-Duluth came to a close but he opted to sign with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
From this group, Nazar, Rinzel and Greene have already established themselves as NHL regulars.

From this draft class, four of the Blackhawks’ first six picks have signed their entry-level contracts. Bedard has emerged as a superstar, while Moore and Lardis were playing their first full professional seasons this year. Misiak has been in Rockford. Marcel signed an AHL contract with the IceHogs previously.
Gajan is still playing collegiate hockey at Minnesota-Duluth. Kantserov’s KHL contract will expire in June and the expectation is that he signs and joins the Blackhawks this fall.
Rob Gray-Imagn Images2024 NHL Draft
1-2 — Artyom Levshunov, RHD – signed1-18 — Sacha Boisvert, C – signed1-27 — Marek Vanacker, F – signed3-67 — John Mustard, F3-72 — AJ Spellacy, C – signed3-92 — Jack Pridham, F5-138 — Joel Svensson, F6-163 — Ty Henry, RHD
From this draft class, Levshunov has been in the NHL this entire season. Boisvert just signed his entry-level contract on Monday. Vanacker and Spellacy previously signed their entry-level contracts and are finishing their OHL careers. Mustard is at Providence (NCAA) and Pridham has an option to play at Boston University next season.
Kirby Lee-Imagn Images2025 NHL Draft
1-3 — Anton Frondell, F – signed1-25 — Václav Nestrašil, F1-29 — Mason West, C3-66 — Nathan Behm, F4-98 — Julius Sumpf, F4-107 — Parker Holmes, F6-162 — Ashton Cumby, LHD7-194 — Ilya Kanarsky, G
Thus far, the only prospect selected from the most recent NHL draft class is Frondell, who could join the Blackhawks before the end of this season. However, Nestrašil and Sumpf enjoyed very good first collegiate seasons in Hockey East at UMass and Providence, respectively. West won the high school state championship in football and will head to Michigan State next year. And Behm is having a strong year in the WHL with Kamloops before matriculating to Arizona State next season.
Blackhawks Draft and Develop Working
Over the course of four drafts as the permanent general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, Davidson has selected 38 players. He has now signed 17 of those 38 (44.7 percent) — a number that does not include Marcel’s AHL contract with Rockford. That would take Davidson’s draft-and-sign rate close to an even 50 percent.
More impressively, Davidson has already signed 9 of his 11 first-round picks from his four draft classes, with only two from his 2025 class outstanding (both of whom will likely be playing college hockey next season).
And, to date, 8 of Davidson’s 38 draft picks have played in the NHL for the Blackhawks (that doesn’t include Dominic James with Tampa).
