Things have not gone very well for the Chicago Blackhawks in 2021-22. They are a bad team with a very bleak future due to the fact that they don’t have many superstar prospects to look forward to. Their best young player is Alex DeBrincat and they might be smarter to trade him away than to keep him.
It is going to be up to the next General Manager to take care of this mess. Stan Bowman left behind a disastrous roster that had a mix of rebuild and win-now players on it. He was just never able to get this team in one direction or another following a horrendous 2017 offseason which started it all.
