Chicago Blackhawks fans have been hit with the hardest news over the last few years, and are frustrated with the organization.. And they should not be ashamed, they have every right to be after the departure from so many fan favourites..

Artemi Panarin was traded away
Alex DeBrincat was traded away
Brandon Hagel was traded away

To top it all off the Blackhawks announced that they did not reach a contract agreement on a very likeable commentator, Eddie Olczyk who has been with the Blackhawks organization for as long as most fans can remember.

But what if one of those trades, was planned out in a specific way, for a special player to return to Chicago?

DeBrincat sounded very hesitant while being asked if he wants to be a Ottawa Senator in the future...

''I am obviously looking forward to being in Ottawa and open to signing a contract, but i just want to see if the fit here is right first''..

Comparing the Alex DeBrincat trade to the Claude Giroux trade, many aspects are similar. Both players have one season left on there contracts until they become free agents, the two teams (Flyers and Blackhawks) were losing there stars regardless. DeBrincat will officially be a free agent in one season, and the Chicago Blackhawks could very well welcome DeBrincat back to the organization, the team may have more structure, and DeBrincat can end up being even more of a bigger asset to the Blackhawks rebuild in just one years time.

The Blackhawks can make a offer sheet proposal to DeBrincat in one year, after next season ends and the free agency window opens..

This method has been done multiple times, where a player and a teams general manager make a agreement that they'll be loaned out for the remainder of there contract, until things are situated, and then return the following season OR seasons.

The Blackhawks could even re-tool this year as DeBrincat's contract expires shortly, with Jonathan Toews stating ''The 5 year rebuild plan is not appealing to me'', Toews could be out the door shortly as Davidson stated he will do as the two stars (Kane and Toews) please.

Toews is also a Canadian born boy, and rumours are swirling that Canada is his next destinations, Ottawa Senators being a serious contender with recent moves can add on Toews's veteran experience, while the Blackhawks retain salary and acquire DeBrincat's rights.
