The Chicago Blackhawks, after a surprising start, have slipped out of playoff contention and may become active sellers at the trade deadline, particularly with six unrestricted free agents on the roster. One of these is captain Nick Foligno, who is nearing the end of his NHL career and has discussed his future with the team. At 38, he has struggled with injuries this season and could benefit from a trade to a contender. Foligno’s veteran presence and experience make him an appealing option for playoff-bound teams, especially if Chicago is willing to retain some salary.
