Landon Slaggert's story
Growing up in South Bend, Landon Slaggert developed through the Chicago Mission system from 2015 to 2019 before taking his game to the college ranks. Born June 21, 2002, he arrived at the University of Notre Dame in 2020 and made an immediate impact as a freshman, appearing in 25 games and producing 8 goals and 14 assists, a season that earned him Notre Dame's Rookie of the Year honour in 2021.
His college tenure mixed setbacks and rebounds. After a quieter junior year that yielded 13 points, Slaggert rebounded as a senior, serving as team captain and posting a collegiate high of 31 points. Across 136 games with the Fighting Irish he finished with 47 goals and 45 assists, a steady body of work that showed growth and adaptability over four seasons.
Selected 79th overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, Slaggert signed a two-year entry-level contract with the club on March 10, 2024. He made his NHL debut five days later against the Los Angeles Kings. His first NHL points were two assists on March 27 versus the Calgary Flames, and he scored his first NHL goal on April 11 against the St. Louis Blues.
Slaggert appeared in 53 games for Chicago during the 2025–26 season, recording three goals and four assists. On September 27, 2026, the Blackhawks placed him on waivers; after clearing, he joined the Rockford IceHogs, Chicago's American Hockey League affiliate.
Internationally, he skated with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program from 2018 to 2020 and represented the United States at the World Junior Championships in 2021 and 2022, earning a gold medal in 2021. In plain terms, Slaggert brings a left-shot forward's combination of goal scoring and playmaking, tempered by a leadership role in his final collegiate season as captain.

WAR and PAL ratings, 2025-26
How we rate →PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against players at the same position (50 = average player), starting from the player's strength, offensive or defensive. Value Rating compares that performance with what the player costs: 50 means paid what the play is worth.
