Who goes?
It’s another offseason during which the Blackhawks face that question. The team has gone into the last few summers with salary cap issues and this one is no different. According to CapFriendly.com, the Blackhawks are currently more than $4.5 million over the 2016-17 cap of $73 million. Whether the 2017-18 cap stays stagnant, as the New York Post’s Larry Brooks reports it could, or goes up to as much as $77 million, the Blackhawks will have to part with a few players.
TSN reported last week that the Blackhawks could be sending Marcus Kruger and Trevor van Riemsdyk to the Vegas Golden Knights.
