CHICAGO — Outside of the draft lottery, May has been a pretty quiet month for the Chicago Blackhawks.There’s draft prep. They have some players at the World Championships. They have a few contracts to work through. But most of the offseason is still ahead of them. Things will start to pick up next month.For now, here’s what I’m hearing about the Blackhawks heading into a busier June:• An upcoming decision will determine whether Jack Pridham remains a Blackhawks prospect. If he commits to a college before the June 1 deadline, Chicago would retain his rights for two more years. If he opts not to go to college, he would re-enter the draft this year.The Blackhawks drafted Pridham, a winger, in the third round in 2024. He was selected out of the BCHL and originally planned to attend Boston University last season. But when the NCAA began allowing CHL players to attend college, Pridham left the BCHL and joined the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL. He later de-committed from BU and opted to play a second season in the OHL. He was among the OHL’s top offensive players this season and had 46 goals and 45 assists in 65 regular-season games. He currently leads the Memorial Cup with six points and four goals. Kitchener will play in the Memorial Cup final Sunday.The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler recently ranked Pridham as the Blackhawks’ 13th-best prospect.• The only other prospect whose draft rights are set to expire on June 1 is forward Riku Tohila. Tohila was drafted in the seventh round in 2022 and has played in Finland’s lower divisions since being selected.
