Chicago offseason

Created by: eddyed24
Team: 2020-21 Chicago Blackhawks
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 28, 2020
Published: Sep. 1, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
At the general surprise the Hawks eliminated the Oilers in the beginning of the tournament to get access to the playoffs. But let's not get to excited the Hawks are not a playoffs team. They got a good offensive team, but their problem is on the backend. Crawford is not a bonafide starter anymore he could make a tandem, start around 40 games a year and their defense is questionable.
The first move I think they made is to trade Strome. Dach is their 2nd center next season and it wouldn't be smart to keep Strome as a 3rd line center. One team I think could be interested would be Minnesota. They truly lack a top 6 centerand Strome could already be their 1st or 2nd center. In exchange Chicago would probably want Eriksson Ek. He would be their 3rd center and plays a responsible 200 foot game. Since that's not enough the Hawks will also ask for Kahkonen who would be at the moment their goaltender of the future. Minny could part ways with him, since they have the 9th overall pick and they could grab Askarov who is view as a future Carey Price.
On the ufa market they could target Tanev a responsable d-man on help the problems mentionned above on defense. For a goaltender I think they'll Simply resign Crawford to a 2 year contract. The first year he'll make a 1a-1b tandem and the second he'll be the backup. Subban could start the Chicago, but if Kakhonen (goalie of the ahl I think) gets hot again, Subban gets trade and Kakhonen start immediatly as a 1b goalie.
I Don't wanna get to close to the cap because Smith and Seabrook are right now on LTIR, but could be back at the beginning of next season. This team is not perfet, but with the move made I think they could be better then they were last season.

Probably not, the only way moving Strome works for us is to get a top line defenseman (LD) in return.

we have goalie issues and we are going to trade away the only goalie we have that is good? Wild say no, also the value is so off.

This is an overpay by Minnesota. I would take this
