Chicago has no shortage of stopgaps, but who will play 1LW if the team makes a playoff run?
No position took a harder hit during the Blackhawks' mass exodus last summer than left wing. Patrick Sharp, Brandon Saad and Kris Versteeg were all traded in order to accommodate the salary cap. Artemi Panarin -- bless his soul -- was brought in, but otherwise the Hawks haven't really found many answers on the left side of their forward corps.
Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa still need a dependable left wing to replace Saad.
