The Chicago Blackhawks are rumored to buyout or at least get rid of either Zack Smith or Olli Maatta. After day 1 of the buyout window, no one has left Chicago.
The Chicago Blackhawks find themselves in such an interesting situation. They have to move some salary cap to keep Dylan Strome and Dominik Kubalik, so who is going? The overall consensus and acceptance by fans was Olli Maata and/or Zack Smith.
Brandon Saad’s name has been put in there, but it would be a mistake to let him go.
