The Chicago Blackhawks are not a team trying to win the Stanley Cup in 2022-23. In fact, they would probably be mad if they were kind of good and barely made the playoffs. The goal this year is to compete for the top of the 2023 NHL Draft.
It was obvious that they would only make a few small moves in free agency as they just need bodies to play for their team. They did just that after the free agency window opened in the National Hockey League.
