Blackhawks Prospect Camp Preview: Team A

The Blackhawks will host their annual prospect camp starting Sunday, with the next generation of Chicago hopefuls and a mix of some free agents trying to impress coaches and the front office.

Let’s look ahead to the camp with a breakdown of the three rosters for the camp. We’ll begin with Team A, a big roster with players who might be on the radar for a contract in the coming months.

A couple free agents to keep an eye on in this group are defenseman Yannick Rathgeb and forward Daniil Miromanov, both of whom are intriguing prospects with good size.
