The Chicago Blackhawks as their rebuild continues, will be looking to improve their blue line. As the team is interested in finding a perfect defence partner for Seth Jones.
With that in mind, Matt Grzelcyk's consistent play and valuable contributions to the Boston Bruins this season, has grabbed the Chicago Blackhawks attention and may stir up trade negotiations.
The 29-year-old defenceman is definitely more of a one-way player, but can contribute in the offensive zone at times. In 75 games this season, Grzelcyk, put up 26 points with 22 assists and 4 goals. He only played 4 games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year, with zeros across the board.
Despite his parable cap hit of $3.687 million, the Bruins are facing salary cap constraints that may create unfortunate decisions, like trading Grzelcyk. As, the financial realities of their situation could force their hand.
As the off season unfollowed, both the Bruins and Blackhawks will be looking for possible moves as the summer roles along.
