Many fans continue to express their frustration with both head coach Jeremy Colliton and general manager Stan Bowman as reasons for the Chicago Blackhawks under-performing season.
After missing the playoffs back-to-back years for the first time since the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons, Bowman is on the hot seat. Spurred by his poor trades and inability to construct another playoff roster, Bowman will have to do something significant and beneficial if he hopes to keep his job in Chicago. Unfortunately for Bowman, he cannot use the same strategy he did in 2017 by firing the coach to protect himself.
