Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski looks set to break into the team for the 2023-24 campaign, with The Athletic's Mark Lazerus noting that it would take a "pretty jarring faceplant at camp" for Korchinski not to make the opening-night roster. All the talk and excitement has been around Connor Bedard in the Windy City this summer, but Korchinski also appears ready to inject some youth and quality into the Blackhawks team. Lazerus adds that Korchinski, who was the seventh pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, probably would've been ready to play in the NHL already last season as an 18-year-old. The young blue-liner ended up spending another season with the Seattle Thunderbirds in the WHL and won the Ed Chynoweth Cup. He had 73 points (11 goals, 62 assists) in 54 regular-season appearances, and Korchinski is also projected to develop into a major offensive force in the NHL.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerRead More News
