The Chicago Blackhawks have been one of the hottest teams in the league on draft day in terms of rumors. With Kirby Dach and Alex DeBrincat on the block, it sounds like they are going to be busy. They have now traded DeBrincat and didn’t get nearly enough for him.
Chicago sent DeBrincat to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the 7th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft and the 39th overall pick as well. In addition to those two picks this year, they got a third-rounder in 2024. That is not nearly enough for their now former All-Star winger.
