The Chicago Blackhawks and the rest of the National Hockey League are fully in hot-stove season now. There are big-time trades being made, pretty good players being let go, and free agency is about to begin.
The Hawks have already made some big-time moves. They brought in 11 players via the 2022 NHL Draft but they sent out a lot of NHL talent in the meantime. This team is going to look very different in 2022-23.
