The Chicago Blackhawks are looking to rebuild their roster. Whether fans like it or not, it is time. They need to make some moves in order to get this ship going in the right direction as it has been sinking quickly since the end of the 2016-17 season.
Some fan favorites might be forced to go as a result of this team-building need. One of those guys is Alex DeBrincat. He has one year left on his very team-friendly contract. Following that, he is going to betting a significant raise.
Kyle Davidson needs to ask himself if adding another 9/10 million dollar a year player to the roster will help them reach their goal right now. It isn’t like they are close to winning or even making the playoffs at this point. That is why it is probably smart to trade DeBrincat right now.
One team that might be in the mix for a DeBrincat deal is the New Jersey Devils. It has been a long time since they were a regular in the postseason but they have been building it the right way. They have a really nice young and talented core that is looking to take the next step.
The Chicago Blackhawks and New Jersey Devils make great trade partners.
They also have a very good prospect pool. They also have the second overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft that they won via the lottery. They have the assets to land a player like DeBrincat and the Hawks would be wise to consider a trade that lands them some of those assets. These three trades could get it done:
