Chicago Blackhawks Case Study
Below is a look at three of the NHL’s up-and-coming stars.
Artemi Panarin - Left Wing - Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks are loaded with talent, and 24-year-old rookie left winger Artemi Panarin has wasted no time solidifying himself as the Blackhawks’ next superstar. Panarin isn’t the only star on Chicago’s roster as studs Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are only three years Panarin’s elder. The Blackhawks newcomer leads all rookies in points (57), goals (22) and assists (35). The next closest NHL rookie behind Panarin in points is Arizona Coyotes rookie Max Domi, who is a healthy 15 points behind (42 points) the Blackhawks’ Russian rookie.

Considering the Oilers currently have the second-fewest points in the NHL (55), McDavid, last year’s No. 1 overall pick in the NHL Draft, could find himself playing with a few other first-overall picks before he gets his first taste of playoff hockey. That being said, Edmonton is fortunate to have him. McDavid’s speed and spectacular puck handling makes him a lethal offensive threat — One the Oilers can build their franchise around in the foreseeable
