Chicago Blackhawks
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After back-to-back 20-point campaigns, Blackwell was held to just two goals and 10 points in 53 games during his first season with the Blackhawks in 2022-23. He missed the final 23 games of the year and underwent sports hernia surgery, but he should be in full health for the start of training camp. The 30-year-old forward has shown small flashes at the NHL level but has not found consistent success. Blackwell will enter the 2023-24 season in a depth role and could end up as a healthy scratch on a fairly regular basis. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract with the Blackhawks in July of 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might get moved
CChicago Blackhawks
March 4, 2024
Blackwell would be a top trade candidate for the Blackhawks, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Blackwell is in the final year of his contract and would cost a team as little as $600,000 against the cap if the Blackhawks -- or a third-party -- were able to retain up to 50 percent of his salary. The 30-year-old forward isn't exactly an offensive dynamo, he's managed just eight points in 31 contests but could offer some intrigue for a team looking to bolster its bottom six.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Blackwell was viewed as nothing more than a depth signing when he was handed a two-year, $1.45 million contract by the Rangers in October 2020, but the Massachusetts native turned out to be a lifesaver for New York, posting 12 goals and 22 points in 47 games a season ago, often playing on the team's second line alongside Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome. The Kraken were so impressed with Blackwell's efforts that they selected him in the expansion draft this past summer. The 28-year-old should get a chance to play in a more prominent role for Seattle, but the Kraken might have only two or three forwards on their roster as talented as Strome, let alone Panarin. Blackwell is safe to leave on the wire in all but the deepest of fantasy formats.
Blackwell will compete for a fourth-line spot on the Rangers, but he's likely to be left on the outside looking in. He registered 10 points in 27 games for the Predators last season and played in six games without scoring a point the year before. That last sentence represents the entirety of the 27-year-old center's resume at the NHL level, so Blackwell will likely split this season between New York's taxi squad and the AHL.
