Team: 2015-16 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 22, 2015

Published: Jun. 22, 2015

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Obviously they Hawks are under a cap crunch. They need to get rid of Bickell and Sharp (unfortunately) in order to get themselves under the cap.
They'll rely heavily on their prospects that have been marinating in the AHL, so we'll see a few 1st round picks making their full-time pro debuts: Hartman, Danault and McNeill.
Nordstrom will also make the team full-time next year as a reliable 4th line option.

They brought over A. Nilsson from the KHL who had stellar numbers, so he may wrestle the NHL job away from Darling who will add a wealth of experience and play the vast majority of games in the AHL.

Trades: Bickell for Baptiste. This should be relatively fair value.
Sharp and Raanta for Gudbranson might be a bit of a stretch, but Tallon loves his ex-Chicago boys and the Panthers have a stockpile of young up and coming D-men.

RFAs: Nordstrom is signed for roughly the same amount he earned last year. Although they'll make it a one-way contract.
Saad will sign a bridge contract for $4 000 000
