William Morrow+FollowBurakovsky Joins the Hawks: Upgrade or Overpay?Big news out of Chicago! The Blackhawks swapped Veleno for Burakovsky, and it’s got fans buzzing.

That $5.5M cap hit for two more years stings, especially if he can’t recapture his Avs magic. Was this the right move for the rebuild, or will the contract haunt us?
