The Chicago Blackhawks, currently positioned 6th in the NHL’s Central Division with a record of 22-26-9, are expected to be sellers ahead of the trade deadline. After a promising start under first-year coach Jeff Blashill, the team has fallen out of playoff contention, focusing on moving pending UFAs like Jason Dickinson and Connor Murphy. With $63.04MM in cap space and a strategy to retain key veterans for development, the Blackhawks aim to acquire NHL-ready young talent in return.
