The last time we heard about the Chicago Blackhawks trying to trade for someone, forward Nail Yakupov had an outside shot at coming to the Windy City. It sounded as though Edmonton and Chicago were close to getting a deal done … until the St. Louis Blues swooped in and grabbed Yakupov just before the regular season began.
But general manager Stan Bowman is always looking for ways to improve his team. With that in mind, we get news from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman that the Blackhawks are taking inquiries for defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk.
