The Blackhawks must trade for this player ahead of the season
Despite their strength on offense, the Chicago Blackhawks will have to improve their defense over the next few years.
Connor Bedard has already proven himself to be a generational talent, so if the rebuild is to be successful they need the right players.
The addition of Nick Foligno, Taylor Hall, and Corey Perry should provide them with some leadership and scoring capabilities.
The goalkeeping duo of Petr Mrazek and Arvid Soderblom isn't a winning one, which is why they should move on from Mrazek.
Mrazek had a 10-22-3 record, with a 3.66 GAA and a .894 sv% , and Soderblom had a abysmal 2-12-2 record in net this season, they will need help.
That's why the team should engage with the Boston Bruins for Jeremy Swayman, who was a part of one of the best goalie tandems in the league, and shared the Jennings Trophy with Linus Ullmark.
In net, Swayman would prove to be a better option than Mrazek, with a 24-6-4 record, 2.27 GAA, and .920 save percentage
Despite being in the NHL for 11 years, Mrazek's prime has passed, along with his inability to provide consistency. Trading for the stellar Bruins goalie requires Kyle Davidson to gather some assets in the form of 1st round picks, and already having a trading relationship with the team is half the battle won.
