The Chicago Blackhawks are clearly tearing it down. Alex DeBrincat was traded to the Ottawa Senators, Kirby Dach was traded to the Montreal Canadiens, and they bought out both Brett Connoly and Henrik Borgstrom.
Now, it sounds like even more names are headed out the door as they are not going to give qualifying offers to Dylan Strome or Dominik Kubalik who are both RFAs right now. The only ones they plan to bring back right now are Caleb Jones and Philipp Kurashev.
