The Chicago Blackhawks name their General ManagerVincent Pariseon March 1, 2022 at 4:58 pm

On Monday, the Blackhawks hinted on Twitter dot com that they would be announcing that name soon. Well, low and behold, they came through and hired Kyle Davidson. Davidson was serving as the interim GM before this hire was made.

It might be a less fun pick than some of the other names because of his interim status prior but it is clear that Davidson cares about them a lot. He is going to have the full-blown chance to try and make this team right. They have some pieces in place that could help them grow as an organization.

The Chicago Blackhawks will have Kyle Davidson as their new General Manager.

Kyle Davidson didn’t do anything wrong in his decision-making so far. However, he didn’t do anything right either. He will be put to the test very soon here as the NHL Trade Deadline is coming up.

Davidson was one of six other candidates to be interviewed and considered for the job. He obviously impressed the hiring committee that Danny Wirtz put together enough to be the long-term guy over some of the other names. It is going to be interesting to see how he handles things for this team going forward.

This team has a lot of work to do but it is a very exciting time for Blackhawks fans. This team is finally moving forward in the right direction after a long period of bad decision making both on and off the ice.

Davidson, a 33 year old, has been with the Blackhawks to some capacity since 2010. He brings a fresh mindset that is going to change the way the team is ran. He will report to Danny Wirtz which is probably a very good idea over having a team President. Hopefully, this is a move that makes the Chicago Blackhawks a better team in the future because they need some big time changes.
