Surprising New Name Has Been Linked to The Chicago Blackhawks
The New York Islanders are making a bold move by parting ways with forward Josh Bailey, whose performance has declined while his cap hit remains high.
In search of potential trade partners, the Chicago Blackhawks have emerged as a likely destination, according to The Fourth Period.
The Blackhawks, currently in a rebuilding phase with ample cap space, have the opportunity to absorb Bailey's unfavourable contract in exchange for valuable draft picks and prospects.
Bailey's recent season stats of eight goals, 17 assists, and a plus-3 rating show potential for him to contribute as a middle-six option, while also mentoring the team's younger players.
The outcome of the Blackhawks' interest in Bailey remains to be seen.
