Throughout the beginning of this summer, the Blackhawks have been at the center of more than a few free agency rumors. Though the market doesn’t open until July 1, Chicago’s abundance of cap space and desire to make a move have placed them firmly in the conversation when insiders have mulled over...
Given that the Blackhawks aren’t expected to be in playoff contention this season, they aren’t likely to acquire any huge free agents this summer, especially players on the older side. Their goal has always been to develop a strong young core of skaters, maintaining financial flexibility for as...
At this time last year, Blackhawks Connor Bedard jerseys were practically already being printed. In May 2023, Chicago’s franchise was altered forever when it won the NHL Draft Lottery, moving up to the first overall pick for the right to select Bedard, who was widely regarded as a generational...
“Out with the old, in with the new,” has been the theme of the Blackhawks’ lengthy rebuild for the past few years. On Thursday, the team announced that the motto didn’t only apply to its transitioning roster – they’re making changes in the broadcast booth as well. After fans voiced significant...
As the Blackhawks attempt to extract as much value from the 2024 NHL Draft as they can, GM Kyle Davidson has already made it clear that he’s willing to move picks to make that happen. He already finalized an early deal with the Islanders to move from the No. 20 pick up to No. 18, and with more than...
Last year, the Blackhawks secured the best first-round draft of any team when star prospect Oliver Moore fell into their laps at No. 19 overall. The best skater in the draft was a true steal for GM Kyle Davidson and his front office. After an early trade that moved Chicago up two spots, the...
When the Bulls and Blackhawks return to the United Center this fall, they’ll do so on a brand-new TV network – The “Chicago Sports Network” (CHSN). A release Monday morning by the Bulls announced they would be joining the Blackhawks and White Sox in switching to the new network, which “will deliver...
Yesterday, we discussed Ivan Demidov’s potential fit with the Blackhawks. The Russian forward, if drafted by Chicago, would form a lethal duo with Connor Bedard down the road, one that draws plenty of historical comparisons to tandems like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin or Patrick Kane and...
Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr. What do all of those names have in common? Each makes up one half of a legendary tandem, one that produced a Stanley Cup championship, and sometimes multiple. In the cases of the first two dynamic...
When it comes to adding talent in free agency and trades this summer, the Blackhawks can afford to be pickier than most. As they begin the journey out of their lengthy rebuild, the team has reached the stage where they’ll attempt to bring in veteran talent to mesh with the young core already in...
The Blackhawks and GM Kyle Davidson couldn’t wait any longer to make their first draft deal happen. On Friday afternoon, Chicago announced it had made a deal with the Islanders to move up two spots from the second of their two first-round picks, rising from No. 20 to No. 18 overall. They also...
It’s been almost 16 months now since one of the most somber days in franchise history – the day Blackhawks icon Patrick Kane was traded to the New York Rangers. Since that fateful day last February, nearly every fan and media member has said their piece about why and how Kane will (or won’t) be...
