Chicago Blackhawks: Strong Offseason Comes With High Expectations

The Chicago Blackhawks have fallen from grace over the past couple of seasons and it was hard to be optimistic at times. That all began to change during the 2018-19 season when the team’s core started coming together and young studs started breaking out. This all happened under the guidance of a new, young coach.

The 2019 offseason gave Blackhawks’ fans everywhere newfound hope. While the Blackhawks didn’t make a playoff appearance — for the 2nd straight season — they did luck into the 3rd overall pick.

They were gifted a very promising player in Kirby Dach, who projects to be a mainstay on the team for the foreseeable future.
