Elliotte Friedman Reveals Blackhawks Declined Trade Offer
It's been no secret that the Chicago Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson has been entertaining offers on 24 year old sniper Alex Dabrincat. The young gun scored 40 goals this season and was only one of the highlights on what was otherwise a disappointing season in the windy city.
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
