The NHL Trade Deadline is this upcoming Monday, April 12, and the Chicago Blackhawks could approach the day a number of different ways.
General Manager Stan Bowman has been mostly quiet on his plans for the deadline, and given the unusual circumstances of this season, he is likely waiting until the day arrives to make any potential moves for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Despite this, the Blackhawks’ unique cap situation this year provides Bowman with an opportunity to go into the trade deadline as buyers with leverage, something he has rarely had the chance to do during his 12-year tenure with the ‘Hawks.
