\"Two<\/p>\n

Even though the Blackhawks are trying to improve at the NHL level, there\u2019s no question that their strength still lies in their prospect pool. Chicago built its team the past few years from the ground up using a war chest of first-round picks. Those high-caliber prospects aren\u2019t quite ready for the NHL yet, but they\u2019re lighting up the junior ranks as they head that direction.<\/p>\n

On Monday, the United States and Canada announced that two Blackhawks prospects had made their preliminary rosters, but one had been inexplicably snubbed. Oliver Moore and AJ Spellacy were both invited to be on USA Hockey\u2019s roster, but Nick Lardis was somehow left off of Hockey Canada\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great news for Chicago\u2019s pipeline that the team has two representatives on a preliminary roster of 28 players. This doesn\u2019t mean they have final roster spots, but it\u2019s certainly a good sign.<\/p>\n

At 19 years old, Moore was pretty much a no-brainer for USA Hockey. He was a valuable member of last year\u2019s group, moving around between lines and picking up three points in seven games with a plus-minus of +4. After putting up 33 points in 39 games at the University of Minnesota last year, the speedster has 12 in 16 games this season. He\u2019ll eventually be one of the fastest skaters in the NHL, but for now, that ability will help him make plays every night for his country.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s perhaps even bigger news that Spellacy made the list \u2013 it proves that it\u2019s not only the Blackhawks who like him. The 18-year-old physical skater was the most notable player at the team\u2019s training camp this fall, sticking around much longer than anyone had expected. He\u2019s doing well in the OHL \u2013 despite his profile as more of a two-way talent, he\u2019s picked up 16 points in 24 games.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s a huge disappointment that Nick Lardis didn\u2019t make the list. He\u2019s an elite scorer and has done just that to start his OHL season. With 24 goals in as many games, Lardis ranks second in the entire league in scoring. He\u2019s lethal from anywhere inside the attacking zone, and it\u2019s a shame he didn\u2019t get an invite. Hopefully, he\u2019ll be able to prove why that\u2019s the wrong call.<\/p>\n

The 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship will begin for USA Hockey on Dec. 21 with two pre-tournament matches. The gold medal game will be played on Jan. 5.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
