You would think they would pull from the AHL and promote prospects, but the Blackhawks have a strategy of developing prospects carefully. Not to rush players like Frank Nazar, right away.
The Blackhawks will be acquiring a Center, according to Friedman.
Even though there's been discussion of promoting Nazar during the 2nd half of the season, we're not quite there yet.
Elliotte Friedman of the 32 Thoughts Podcast has reported that Chicago is a team that is actively hunting for center(s).
While the Blackhawks only have Jason Dickinson and Connor Bedard, the lack of depth is glaring.
News of Kyle Davidson wading into the waters to find someone reliable, and who could slot in behind Bedard has been an ongoing storyline.
With a slew of assets and cap space, it would behoove Davidson if he were to execute a plan soon.
Given that his latest pickups, including Tyler Bertuzzi, T.J. Brodie, Laurent Brossoit, and Teuvo Teravainen have had a difficult time getting going in Chicago.
This could be due to multiple factors in the Windy City, including Luke Richardson's utilization.
It could also be a fact that the Blackhawks are in a slump offensively, despite the advertisement by the front office that they're better.
If they were better, they wouldn't have to do so right?
What available center in the NHL would you want Kyle Davidson to go after?
