Here’s what Elite Prospects had to say about Landon Slaggert in their 2020 NHL Draft scouting report:
“Slaggert played like a bulldozer in this game, he threw heavy hits, outmuscled opponents along the boards and seemingly always wanted to play the body to win the puck. He could outwork opponents in the slot as well. Showed some good speed and decent acceleration. Strong physically, dominates in board battles and in corners.”

As a two-way forward with a bit of a scoring touch, Slaggert could provide some depth at the center position for the Blackhawks in the future, likely as a third-line player. The 18-year-old is set to begin his collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame.
