from Adam Kimelman of NHL.com,

The struggles of the Chicago Blackhawks in the present could be short-term issues if the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship is any indication.

The Blackhawks (13-20-6, 32 points), who are last in the Central Division and have the third-fewest points in the League, will have seven prospects at the under-20 international tournament, tied for the most among NHL teams.

The Montreal Canadiens and Philadelphia Flyers also will have seven prospects at the tournament. Twenty-nine of 31 teams will have at least one player taking part; the Minnesota Wild and Tampa Bay Lightning will not be represented.
