Team: 2025-26 Chicago Blackhawks

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Hawks future (2025-2026) looks bright. Some prospects will fizzle out, some will top out as AAHL players, some will be traded to fill holes. But ultimately, you can see the future looks great if 1/2 of our 1st and 2nd round picks pan out. This is not accounting for 2024 second rounders, 2025 1st rounders. I expect going into the season the Hawks skip the bridge deal and resign Bedard for 13m/8y

I was actually thinking about this exact subject recently. I doubt they force anything if it just isn't quite there yet, but the 26-27 season will be their centennial season. 100 years of Blackhawks hockey is a good target for a breakout season, maybe they even aim for icing a roster that is a cup favorite on paper that year. We'll see.

The Hawks' future looks bright! I think Oliver Moore will be a center, though, no? I don't think Reichel will last at center, especially once Moore is ready.
Nazar looks like a lock on the wind, and the hawks really like Gavin Hayes.

I was hoping for it. Our organizations RD depth is shallow and it would have been the funniest thing.
