Let’s delve into some rumors and moves on a day off during the Stanley Cup Final. The Blackhawks continue to be linked to intriguing names throughout, which is a nice change after the last few summers. Meanwhile, other teams aren’t waiting for the Draft to start making moves.
On Wednesday morning, Calgary traded goaltender Jacob Markström to New Jersey. That set the wheels in motion for hopefully a busy couple of weeks for the NHL.
The Hurricanes at this point in the process are said to have received concrete trade offers for Martin Necas, but nothing yet that they would say yes to…he should continue to heat up next week at the draft in Las Vegas— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) June 19, 2024
For one thing, we know the Blackhawks, armed with roughly $33 million in cap space, would like to build something more competitive around Connor Bedard for next season. If general manager Kyle Davidson is reluctant to sign long-term veterans this early in his rebuild, Chychrun would be a great fit as a rental who can be traded at the 2025 deadline. As a bonus: Chicago head coach Luke Richardson , turns out to be Chychrun’s uncle. If the Hawks wanted to extend Chychrun, the family connection could help in releasing him.
