Team: 2022-23 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 13, 2022

Published: Jun. 13, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Well, you want Bedard? This should do it.

Devils get a star scorer with a sound 200 foot game.

Sabres get a strong RD that provides veteran leadership for a young D core.

Rangers get an elite offensive player that can take their offense to the next level. The Rangers remind me a lot of the '09 Blackhawks. Young team that fell short in the conference final. That 09 team got Hossa and it worked, can Kane provide a similar spark to get the Rangers over the hump?

Calgary clears $6M ish in cap space while really losing one roster player. Can this move help them re-sign Gaudreau and Tkachuk? If Lucic doesn't want to be in CHI, hawks can flip him. Same with Monahan (Although I think Monahan just wants to play for his next contract more than anything).

Toronto gets their cap dumps taken care of and two decent players back that are both under 25 years old, can this be some more consistent scoring depth?

Again, hawks can flip the players with NMCs/NTCs or buy them out. Financially, I expect this team to be near the floor the next 3 seasons. I don't expect the buyouts to be much of an issue. In this scenario, around $25M+ comes of the books next offseason (Retention, Lucic, Monahan, Kubalik, and Connolly).
