Could the Chicago Blackhawks add Cole Perfetti to an already talented group of left-wingers?
Over the last several years, the Chicago Blackhawks have collected quite the talented bunch of left-wingers on their roster. Most notably, Alex DeBrincat, despite still being 22 years of age, has tapped into his potential. The former 39th overall pick of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft was on pace to come up just shy of his numbers from last year, but he still had 18 goals and 27 assists for 45 points in 70 games.
Dominik Kubalik was a former seventh-round pick of the LA Kings in the 2013 NHL Draft and was acquired for a fifth-round pick in 2019. In his first season, he tallied 30 goals with 16 assists for 46 points in 68 games, all while playing on the team’s third line. Along with a promising Chicago debut from Alex Nylander – ten goals, 16 assists for 26 points – and a serviceable fourth-liner in Drake Caggiula, the Blackhawks boast one of the better group of forwards along the left side.
