If only this were true.

Team: 2018-19 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 29, 2018

Published: Mar. 29, 2018

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

1. Hawks draft Evan Bouchard with their #7 pick, then move up to 13-20 with Nashville's pick to take Joe Veleno.

2. Bowman somehow acquires Leddy & Beauvillier, I think Beauvillier would look great playing with Schmaltz and Kane... Either way Anisimov is getting traded in a package for a top 4 this summer.

3. Hawks add a legitimate 2-way beast in Bozak that plays a game the Hawks have had none of this season with the loss of Hossa and Kruger. Bozak is also young enough to sign to a semi-long term deal.

4. Hawks add depth with signing Moore, Vanek and Wingels - you can never have too much depth, it's guys like this the Hawks were clearly lacking this season. Role players and depth certainly makes a difference.

5. Bowman signs Carter Hutton as a legitimate backup to Crawford.. I think Forsberg and Berube have potential but they're just not ready for full time NHL duty.. The Hawks defense hasn't been great and either would probably fare better with this defense I have set up BUT it's just not worth the risk with Crawford's vertigo issues, if he's out again the Hawks would need a legitimate #1b.
