Trade Talks Blackhawks Fans Should be Aware About..
In terms of a full-on rebuild, the Chicago Blackhawks fit the bill, as the team is tranistioning from the winning roster in the past - to now a new, fresh roster with youth and tempered expectations.
Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson has a plethora of veteran talent, which will help mentor the young Hawks brigade.
And while mentorship from the organization's veteran's provides an important tool, often times shedding cap space and trading away veterans takes priority.
Here are four players who's time with the Blackhawks could be nearing it's end.
Longtime Blackhawks Kane and Toews have been in rumours since before the offseason begun. The pair have been through it all with the Hawks, and with the best years of their career's behind them, the question arises. Do the Blackhawks two most successful current players want out to win a cup before they retire? It makes sense. These following players were acquired during free agency by the Blackhawks, and its reported its only a matter of time before they are gone as a quick flip..
Max Domi has become a journeyman of sorts in recent years, and while he has always provided hard-nosed play, he is fast-approaching his 30's. Domi has split time between the Coyotes, Canadiens, Blue Jackets, Hurricanes and now the Blackhawks - all of which he's yet to win a cup. Where does Domi depart to for his highly-coveted first Stanley Cup ring?
Andreas Athanasiou isn't Kane and Toew's age, and Domi has a few years on him, also - so he is perhaps the most intriuging of the list, because he is the youngest. Athanasiou has been around the league, but, is yet to win a Stanley Cup. Do the Blackhawks and the forward remain together, or should Athanasiou depart for a Stanley Cup contender?
Only time will tell, so what say you NHL fans? Who stays, and who goes?
