Team: 2025-26 Chicago Blackhawks

Initial Creation Date: Nov. 10, 2023

Published: Nov. 10, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

2 years out this Hawks team should be very much on the upswing. I'd look for them to make a major UFA splash either this year or next, targeting one of Nylander (2024) , Raantanen (2025) and Drai (2025). This is the Hossa 2.0 move that took that young Hawks team led by Toews and Kane to the next level

Bring in a Vet goalie on a 2-3 year deal to bridge the cap to Comesso or Gajan

Vegas isn't moving Roy. He's an incredibly important player to their success and is probably a top 6 player on most teams in the league, there's a reason they signed him long term.

100% onboard with taking a run at Rantanen in 2025...or Drai. Levshunov too I think will be our top target in the upcoming draft

Projecting the Tampa pick to be 20 ish I'm just thinking some of the higher ranked guys will be gone. I'd love Adam Jiricek. Hawks should 100% be looking to double dip on D imo
