Corey Crawford’s departure from the Windy City was one that left a sour taste in many fans’ mouths. Now, Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman has given some insight into what went on behind the scenes.
The Chicago Blackhawks have a definite issue in net going into next season. With veteran goalie Corey Crawford departing for the New Jersey Devils, the Hawks now have a trio of young, unproven goalies ready to take their spotlight in the crease.
While rumors circulated that the Hawks had made Crawford an offer, many people, including Crawford’s former teammate Scott Darling, took the news that the Blackhawks would be moving on with a grain of salt.
