It's quite reasonable for the Blackhawks to be where they are in the standings as everyone was aware of how the season would go due to Kyle Davidson's recent announcement that the organization will be rebuilding for the next few years, and it started with Alex DeBrincat plus many others being shipped away.
With the Blackhawks in full-rebuild mode, why not play the kids, and let them get their feet wet in the NHL rather then let aging veterans steal ice time, who likely won't even be with the organization next year?
Katchouk had quite the embarrassing play last night, which caused a St.Louis Blues goal, the final score was only 3-1 but this play put the cherry on top sadly..
