Elliotte Friedman Reveals Blackhawks Declined Trade Offer

So why would you trade a 40 goal scorer well Dabrincat is a pending restricted free agent who made $6.4 million dollars this season and is looking at a big contract worth between $9-$10 million dollars per year. However Davidson isn't sold on Dabrincat who's had issues with some teammates and also Davidson knows the return for Dabrincat in a trade would be huge for the Blackhawks rebuild. That asking price could be alot after the Blackhawks reportedly declined a trade today.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on the under review podcast, one team approached Chicago in an effort to get DeBrincat, the offer included at least 2 first rounders and of which was fairly high and Chicago said no.

"I think there's one team that made a- I'm working on it today, a pretty big offer for DeBrincat, which if it's two included a couple-at least a couple of first rounders, one of them which would of been pretty high, and i heard Chicago wasn't willing to do that so, I'm very curious to see what it's going to take to get DeBrincat out of there Chicago." - Elliotte Friedman
