Sherri West+FollowWhy another tough Blackhawks season could pay offChicago’s hockey fans might want to brace themselves—another rough Blackhawks season could actually be a smart move for the team’s future. Despite having nearly $19 million in cap space, the Blackhawks are holding off on big-name signings, focusing instead on a full rebuild. This means more young talent, a fresh coaching approach, and possibly another high draft pick next year. It’s not about quick fixes, but about building a team that can really compete down the line. What do you think: is patience the right call, or should they be making bigger moves now? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks00Share
Christopher Li+FollowWhy the Blackhawks' goalie contract could shape their futureLocking in the right deal for Spencer Knight might be the difference between another Stanley Cup run or years of rebuilding for the Blackhawks. With goalie salaries skyrocketing, teams that overpay often struggle to build a championship roster. Knight has shown flashes of brilliance, but his numbers so far don’t scream “franchise goalie” just yet. Should Chicago gamble on a long-term deal, or play it safe with a short-term contract to see if he’s truly the answer? How would you handle Knight’s next contract if you were GM? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks00Share

Jordan Leblanc+FollowWhy isn’t Patrick Kane back in Chicago?Patrick Kane is lighting it up in Detroit, but Chicago Blackhawks fans can’t help but wonder why their former superstar isn’t back in a Hawks jersey.

Is the front office missing a golden opportunity, or is it time to move on? What do you think would help the Hawks most right now? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks01Share

stacy28+FollowWhy the Blackhawks need Connor MurphyLosing Connor Murphy could shake up the Blackhawks’ young defense more than people realize. With so many fresh faces on the blue line, having a steady veteran like Murphy around isn’t just helpful—it’s essential. He’s been through the highs and lows in Chicago, and his leadership is exactly what these up-and-coming players need as they find their footing. Sure, a trade might bring in a draft pick, but can that really replace what Murphy brings to the locker room? Curious to hear—would you keep Murphy for the rebuild, or roll the dice on a trade? #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks00Share
Christopher Li+FollowWhy Oliver Moore could be Chicago’s next breakoutOliver Moore’s speed and skill are exactly what the Blackhawks need heading into the 2025-26 season.

With new signings and plenty of competition, Moore will have to fight for his spot at training camp—but that’s what makes this so exciting. Imagine him on a line with Frank Nazar or Connor Bedard! Chicago fans, do you think Moore will make the roster this year, or does he need more time? Let’s talk about what he could bring to the ice. #Sports #IceHockey #Blackhawks10Share
