Blackhawks mail satchel: Should Chicago bring back Patrick Sharp?

MAILBAG TIME!!!!!

Who do you think the hawks will bring back? I.E Sharp, or do you think they will revisit the Saad trade? — @venuscook

It’s hard to guess which players might be willing to take discounts like Brian Campbell a year ago, but Patrick Sharp feels like a good candidate. And if the Hawks are prowling on the free agent market for upgrades, realistically we’re talking about guys willing to sign for little more than $1 million.

I do think that pursuing Sharp on a deal similar to Campbell’s, like a base salary around $1 million plus another $1 million in performance incentives, would be a fine move for the Hawks.
