Chicago Blackhawks Without Top 20 NHL Defenseman? | Corey Pronman's Pipeline Rankings

Thursday's episode begins with the NHL Network's top-20 defensemen list, in which Chicago Blackhawks' new No. 1 blue-liner Bowen Byram was omitted. Host Jack Bushman dives into the full list, discusses whether Byram deserves to be included in the top 20, and he also goes through what the defenseman must do to cement his case in the 2026-27 season. Then, Bushman goes through Corey Pronman's U23 Pipeline Rankings, with the Chicago Blackhawks claiming the No. 4 spot. The episode concludes with Ryan Donato's 2025-26 season recap
