Per a new report from analyst Elliotte Friedman, the Chicago Blackhawks are close to re-signing general manager Kyle Davidson, who is taking control of their rebuild.
The Chicago Blackhawks might still be in the middle of their rebuild, but there have been plenty of positive signs along the way, starting with the most obvious of having taken Connor Bedard with the 1st overall pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.
That, along with getting other young talent in the system like Frank Nazar and Anton Frondell, has people excited about what could potentially be soon down the road in Chicago.
Per a new report from analyst Elliotte Friedman, the Blackhawks could be close to re-signing GM Kyle Davidson.
"Danny Wirtz, who runs the Blackhawks, has been doing a lot of interviews, and it seems to me like we're heading in the direction of a Kyle Davidson extension. It sounds like this is where we're going. I don't believe it's done yet, but it sounds like we're going in that direction.
I've been hearing a little bit about it, and what I think it says is that the Blackhawks may not win a ton of games this year, but the difference between now and where they were a year, two years ago, is that you can see the hope.
And that's why I think Davidson will get the vote of confidence. Based on what I've heard, I'd be surprised if it didn't happen."

Kyle Davidson has been GM of the Blackhawks since 2021
Davidson worked at various levels of the Blackhawks organization before being named an assistant to then-GM Stan Bowman in 2018.
After Bowman's resignation in 2021, Davidson took over the job of GM not long after he was promoted to assistant general manager.
His 1st major move was letting coach Jeremy Colliton go after a 1-9-2 start to the year.
