Connor Bedard, currently holding a 2-4-1 record in their first seven games.
As the team moves from a full rebuild to aiming for more wins, general manager Kyle Davidson has been on the lookout for ways to add to the roster, especially at center.

This search shows that the Blackhawks are serious about building a team that can compete well around Bedard and their other young players.
Room in the Budget For The Blackhawks

Davidson, known for being willing to take risks, might use this room to bring in a strong center. Typically, NHL teams wait until around Thanksgiving to make bigger trade decisions, so we might see trade talks pick up in the coming weeks.
