The Blackhawks May Be Making Their First Trade of The Off-Season With This Team
Speculation is growing about a potential trade between the Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks. Scott Powers of The Athletic recently explored the NHL Entry Draft plans of the Blackhawks, suggesting they may be open to making moves beyond their first-overall pick.
Although moving up from their second first-round selection at No. 19 seems challenging, Powers indicates that the Canucks could be a viable trade partner. The Blackhawks might be willing to absorb an expensive contract from Vancouver while offering their first- and second-round picks to entice the Canucks to part with their No. 11 pick. Of course, not the Blackhawks' #1 overall first rounder, their other one.
Kyle Davidson has publicly stated that is a goal for the organization, to move up into the draft.
This trade scenario would present intriguing opportunities for the Blackhawks, as they recognize the caliber of talent available at the No. 11 spot. General Manager Kyle Davidson appears prepared to be active in shaping the team's future.
As the NHL offseason gains momentum, fans eagerly await further developments and the possibility of an impactful trade between these two franchises.
