Some Players The Blackhawks could afford to bring in to help

Kyle Davidson should also consider the salary cap floor as the team has a considerable amount of funds available.

To assist Bedard's development, it may be wise to scout for available players who can be brought in as rentals or short-term projects.

These players can be traded for assets later, which will help with the team's rebuilding progress.

One player who's currently available is Brock Boeser, who is a bit expensive but has the potential to be a quality linemate for Connor Bedard.

Boeser had 18 goals and 37 assists in 74 games last season and has been in talks of being traded lately. A fresh change of scenery could do him good, and while his cap hit is expensive at $6.65 Million AAV, he'd be a great offensive pairing for Bedard.

Adding Anthony Mantha to the team would provide a valuable veteran presence, as he is a skilled power forward. Although he has a cap hit of $5.7 million and is a rental player, his addition could bolster the team's depth.

Despite a relatively disappointing 27-point season last year, he has the potential to make a positive impact.

Another player who can be considered is Conor Garland, whose cap hit is slightly less at $4.95 Million for 3 years.

He's a versatile player who can be moved up and down the lines easily, and can also be utilized on the power-play.

Considering the thin goaltending situation of the Blackhawks, they could also bring in Cal Petersen, who could use a fresh start. The low-pressure Chicago system would allow him time in Rockford and being a 3rd option, should Petr Mrazek or Arvid Soderblom fall to injury for extended periods of time.

His cap hit is $5 Million AAV for the next two years, and if he doesn't work out, he could be bought out as a last resort.

These players can be of great utility to the team and can also yield assets, particularly in the case of Brock Boeser.
