From the beginning of GM Kyle Davidson’s tenure with the Blackhawks, he’s made it clear that his intention is to weaponize the Blackhawks’ cap space. He’s got a lot of wiggle room, as Chicago has almost $42 million in space, almost $3 million ahead of the Ducks at second-most. In any salary cap...
Practically every day since it was announced that the Blackhawks had won the lottery and were awarded the first overall pick on May 8th, Blackhawks fans have raved about Connor Bedard “speeding up the rebuild process”, making Chicago an “instant contender”, or saying he’ll “take years off the...
We’ve heard time and time again that this year’s NHL Draft class could be one of the best we’ve ever seen. One’s mind immediately goes to future Blackhawk Connor Bedard, but there’s top-tier talent throughout the first 50 picks. Perhaps most importantly for the Blackhawks, the first 8 to 10...
Alex Stalock taught all of us a lesson in perseverance throughout the 2022-23 season. In a year where he fought through myocarditis, concussions, and oculomotor dysfunction, he was a force between the pipes, helping the team both on the ice and in the locker room. History Stalock was drafted by the...
The Blackhawks finally appear to have the net officially locked down for the 2023-24 season. It was announced Wednesday morning that goaltender Arvid Soderblom was being signed to a two-year contract extension that carries an annual cap hit of $962,500. The deal runs through the 2024-25 campaign,...
Less than 24 hours after the NHL Draft Lottery aired and it was announced that the Blackhawks had earned the first overall pick, their presumptive draft choice was already changing the city of Chicago. Connor Bedard, who is already all but on the team despite the draft being a month and a half...
It’s all but official - Connor Bedard will soon be a Blackhawk. Monday night, the city of Chicago collectively held its breath as the deputy commissioner flipped 16 cards representing the 16 teams in the lottery, and things couldn’t have gone better for the Blackhawks, as they won the lottery and...
As the lottery machine spit out its numbers and the deputy commissioner flipped the cards, the city of Chicago collectively held its breath. After one of the worst seasons in Blackhawks history, which saw the team fail to reach 60 points, Chicago has been awarded the first overall pick. The team,...
The Blackhawks and their fans will have their eyes glued to their televisions Monday night at 6 P.M. CDT as they “pray for ping pong balls”. Of course, those ping pong balls are tasked with selecting the winner of the NHL Draft Lottery, which can alter the future of a franchise. If a team defies...
At this point in the pre-draft process, every NHL fan knows the name of 17-year-old Connor Bedard. The future of the first overall pick has never been clearer; he’ll practically be already drafted when the draft lottery winner is announced Monday. There’s no prospect quite like him, and he likely...
The Blackhawks currently find themselves in a situation they haven’t had to deal with since 2008. For the first time in 15 years, when the team takes the ice in October, Jonathan Toews will not be wearing the “C” on his sweater, or any Blackhawks sweater at all. Toews, who served as captain for...
As the NHL season comes to an end, the Blackhawks are headed into an offseason that’s both uncertain and crucial. It’s clear that the pieces are all there for this rebuild to start swinging back up toward contention. However, no one, not even GM Kyle Davidson, knows what the roster in Chicago will...
