Description

As a fan of the blackhawks i would like them to spend their money to an extent. Maybe not to this extent but if your trying to build something for the future i would not mind this type of roster. They need a stud next to bedard which is why guentzel is in my opinion a greta fit. also bringing in guys like duclair to go along with other role players on this roster this a competitive team with a potential wild card push. not saying they this roster would get the job done. Let some of the young guns into the lineup and fill the remaining roster spots with quality players.

Hawks don't have room to sign a LD with Kaiser, Phillips, and maybe EDM fighting for time in that 3rd spot. I'd also pass on a duclair reunion. I get wanting to spend a little and improve but Guentzel seems unlikely

Other than Chatfield and maybe Lomberg, those other UFA's seem highly unlikely. Reichel isn't a C. That experiment is hopefully over.

Yeah i agree but this would be ideal scenario for me. I just hope we get a stud next to bedard tbh that would literally be the only thing im asking for at this current time
