The Blackhawks State They Are Open For Business: What may that entail?
In a recent article by Scott Powers of The Athletic, he shared insights he gathered from his sources during the early stages of the offseason. The Chicago Blackhawks are not particularly confident about the possibility of moving up from their current 19th overall pick in the first round of the draft. Additionally, Powers emphasized that contrary to fans' hopes, both Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane will not be making a return to the team.
Powers also delved into the Blackhawks' strategy of utilizing their cap leverage to their advantage. The organization is open to exploring opportunities where they can acquire high draft picks or quality prospects by taking on contracts from other teams. While they understand that cap space will become a concern in the future, that is still a few years away.
As the offseason progresses, it will be intriguing to monitor which bad contracts the Blackhawks may absorb and the assets they could potentially receive in return. The team's approach to free agency is also worth watching, although it is unlikely that they will make any significant splashes.
