The Hawks had a few rookies on the roster last year with Corey Crawford providing the biggest impact in goal. Jake Dowell played almost a full season while blueliner Nick Leddy skated in 48 games. This year there won't be quite the rookie impact but a few guys will try and barge their way through.


Jeremy Morin (left) also impressed during a 9 game stint last year after being picked up in the Dustin Byfuglien deal with Atlanta. Morin who led team USA to a gold medal in 2010 has a terrific blend of grit and skill that will someday make him a top 6 guy with the Hawks and he could see some time in that role this year when injuries strike like they do to every NHL club.
