As part of our Countdown to Puck Drop series during the month of September, today we take a deep dive on the Chicago Blackhawks.
What a summer it has been for Stan Bowman and the Chicago Blackhawks. On June 23rd, Bowman took the hockey world by surprise by trading Artemi Panarin for former Blackhawks forward Brandon Saad.
Like if it wasn’t enough, the Chicago Blackhawks also traded defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson to the Arizona Coyotes for defenseman Connor Murphy and forward Laurent Dauphin.
Let’s recap who left the hawks this summer:
Losses: Artemi Panarin, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Scott Darling, Marcus Kruger, Brian Campbell, Johnny Oduya, Trevor van Riemsdyk, Tyler Motte, Dennis Rasmussen, Andrew Desjardins, Brandon Mashinter, Mac Carruth, Lars Johansson, Michael Latta, Kenton Helgesen, Nolan Valleau
Even if the Chicago fans will count on the return of Brandon Saad, many questions stay unanswered as the 2017-2017 season is coming fast.
