The Chicago Blackhawks have finalized their roster cuts during training camp, reducing the team to 41 players. Eight players have been reassigned, including five forwards, two defensemen, and one goalie, with most heading to the AHL.

Nick Lardis is the only forward returning to the OHL, while the Rockford IceHogs are set to welcome Gavin Hayes, Paul Ludwinski, Jalen Luypen, and Marcel Marcel. The emphasis remains on developing younger talent as veterans face competition for playing time.
