Odds are good Blackhawks will trade some players in next 2 weeks. But who is most likely gone? JDietzSports takes a look.
Some fans of bottom-feeding teams like the Blackhawks hope against hope that many players will be jettisoned to contenders in exchange for promising prospects and/or draft picks.Here's the problem: Wretched teams are wretched for a reason -- they don't have many difference-makers other GMs are clamoring to get their hands on.
Domi, who will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, is exactly the kind of player you want on a third line in the postseason. He has everything listed above, plus 24 games of playoff experience. Last year, he gave Carolina 2-0 and 3-1 leads in a 3-2 Game 7 victory over Boston in the opening round.
One more thing: Let's not forget the Stanley Cup playoffs are an absolute grind. Nobody's going to be pulling up on Kane. They'll pound him whenever possible. Toews also must be ready to go 100% every night. Sam Lafferty: A high-energy forward who carries a cap hit of only $1.15 million through next season, Lafferty could provide some nice depth scoring. He'll be 28 years old in March, so it's unlikely he'll be around when the Hawks are truly competitive in 3-4 years.
Doubtful, but who knows? Petr Mrazek: I originally had Mrazek in the"maybe" category, but the 31-year-old goaltender is fairly expensive and has a contract that runs through 2023-24. Still, he could be moved to a team that loses its starter to injury or one that isn't thrilled with its current tandem.
Tyler Johnson: Somewhat surprisingly, Johnson is tied for third on the Hawks with 0.61 points per game. He's a hardworking veteran who won two Stanley Cups with Tampa Bay. The issues? The undersized forward has been injured most of the past two seasons and he's got one year remaining on his contract .
