With a mass amount of cap space to weaponize, the Chicago Blackhawks could have an active free-agency period, which will be fast approaching.
As many UFA's will hit the market in July, the Chicago Blackhawks have been linked to these three: Jonathan Marchessault, Tyler Bertuzzi, and Teuvo Teraveinen, according to Scott Powers of The Athletic.
Jonathan Marchessault
The Chicago Blackhawks will continue to look to add to their offensive depth, and one of those linked currently is the Vegas Golden Knight's own, Jonathan Marchessault. Marchessault is a versatile winger, capable of playing in multiple scenarios. He also has a Conn Smythe Trophy to his name!
This is Marchessault.
It takes 74 seconds of game time for Jonathan Marchessault to score a goal on his first shot in his 500th game as a Golden Knight. #VegasBorn— Nick Walters (@nickwalt) March 20, 2024
The 33-year-old has played 69 games this season, with 38 goals and 60 points scored. Marchessault would be an immediate plug-and-play with Connor Bedard.
The next prominent forward linked to the team is former Blackhawk, now Carlina Hurricane Teuvo Teraveinen.

The Finn was a former favorite in Chicago before he arrived in Carolina, whose playmaking skills would be a valuable addition to the current trajectory of the Blackhawks. He would also be a great compliment to Bedard on the forward lines.
In 67 games this season with the Carolina Hurricanes, the 29-year-old has amassed 21 goals and 26 assists for 47 points.
Tyler Bertuzzi
Lastly, Tyler Bertuzzi of the Toronto Maple Leafs is the last forward linked to the rebuilding Blackhawks.

Known as a physical forward who isn't afraid of getting in the dirty areas on the ice, including the front of the net, would be another great addition to the Blackhawks.
He would be a gritty, but offensive threat to add to the team, as he has scored 15 goals and 34 points over 67 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season.
Any strategic addition of these three players would bolster the idea that the team is looking to contend for the playoffs very soon.
