Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman knows he has to fix his roster in order for them to get back to the playoffs, and said during the team’s season-ending press conference Sunday at the United Center that the plan is to be active in the free agent market.
“I would expect us to be more active in the summer free agent market than we have in years past,” Bowman said. “First of all, we have the cap flexibility to do that. We haven’t been in this position before. This is probably the first time ever we’ve had this much money to spend.
