Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek Discuss The Potential For Chicago To Take On Bad Contracts For Long Term Success

The Chicago Blackhawks entered the season with uncertainties, and while playoff expectations weren't exceptionally high, the acquisition of Taylor Hall and the arrival of Connor Bedard fueled hope among fans for a competitive season.

Now, with Taylor Hall ruled out for the remainder of the season, insiders Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek propose that the Blackhawks could be open to taking on bad contracts as part of their rebuilding strategy.

Chicago Blackhawks Are on The Verge Of Being Great and Could Use This Year To Bolster Rebuild

Despite the Blackhawks currently sitting at the bottom of the Central Division and unlikely to make the playoffs this year, there's a sense that the team is on the brink of elevating its competitiveness, particularly with young talent like Connor Bedard leading the way.

Losing a veteran presence like Taylor Hall dampens immediate playoff prospects, making it potentially worthwhile for GM Kyle Davidson to explore acquiring bad contracts in exchange for additional picks and prospects. This strategic move could fortify the team for future success, especially with Bedard emerging as a key figure.

While the Blackhawks acknowledge the considerable work ahead in their rebuilding process, they are swiftly advancing in the league's hierarchy, positioning themselves for a promising future.
