As the Chicago Blackhawks continue to rebuild, one name that could be on their radar is James Hagens, the projected number-one pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. Hagens is an elite forward with impressive skills, and he's set to play his freshman season at Boston College.
With stars like Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault supporting him, Hagens is in an excellent position to showcase his talent at the collegiate level.
The Blackhawks, already boasting top young players like Connor Bedard and Artyom Levshunov, could add another elite prospect if they land a high pick in 2025. While Chicago's recent offseason additions-Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teravainen, and Alec Martinez-will make them more competitive, the focus is still on long-term development. Depending on how the 2024-25 season unfolds, the Blackhawks might be in a position to draft Hagens and further bolster their future.
Whether they surprise everyone with a strong season or continue rebuilding, Hagens remains a key prospect to watch.
