The NHL offseason is the time of year for players to rest up and prepare for the upcoming campaign. It's an entirely different story, though, for prospects looking to make their mark on their respective organizations.
Dylan Sikura, a sixth-round, 178th overall pick from the 2014 draft, put on a show at the Blackhawks prospect camp with some impressive moves. Watch as he dangles through his opponents, but gets robbed in the end.
Pretty incredible stuff.
Sikura's strong play particularly caught the attention of the big boys upstairs. His bosses, general manager Stan Bowman and head coach Joel Quenneville, had nothing but strong praise for the 22-year-old.
The Blackhawks will have to wait a little while before the prospect enters the lineup, as Sikura recently stated he will be returning to Northeastern University for his senior season. In his junior year, the Aurora, Ontario native amassed 21 goals and 36 assists in just 38 games.
Keep an on this kid over the next year, as he'll likely pull off more masterpieces like this one against younger competition this season.
