The Chicago Blackhawks have made some significant moves this offseason. Stan Bowman is a bad GM that has made terrible moves in his day but he is having a good summer. There have been significant trades and signings that should have this team as a playoff contender as soon as this upcoming season. There is a lot to look forward to when it comes to the team on and off the ice.
Of course, the most important thing to a winning hockey team is good goaltending. Most Stanley Cup contenders have very that position locked down on an elite level. Well, the Hawks’ acquisition of Marc-Andre Fleury has them set in that spot for at least a year. He should form a very good tandem with Kevin Lankinen.
