Blackhawks healthy scratch $7.5M 950-game veteran and former Maple Leaf from lineup

The Chicago Blackhawks made the biggest splash out of the entire NHL this off-season, acquiring big named players, or those who were once big named; Tyler Bertuzzi, 3x Stanley Cup Champion Pat Maroon, 1x Stanley Cup Champion goaltender Laurent Brossoit, and former Maple Leafs 950-game veteran defenseman TJ Brodie.

General manager Kyle Davidson completed all those moves just to ice and above-average team, who did not have the proper head coach to back them up.

Luke Richardson was swiftly fired from the Blackhawks this season after a rough patched-losing streak, and head coach Anders Sorensen was named as the Blackhawks' intern head coach.

It may be time for Kyle Davidson to swap out some of his failed off-season acquisitions, to create a lineup spot for prospects to bloom.

It seems as if the Blackhawks are taking fan backlash into consideration as they will be scratching TJ Brodie, a 948-game NHL veteran who has soaked up 40-games this season that could've been a lineup spot for the youth to develop properly. Better late than ever, i guess?

The Blackhawks will faceoff against the Calgary Flames at home, the United Center, tonight at 6:30 p.m CT.
