It was a competition that turned out not to be a competition at all for the Blackhawks. One of the main storylines entering the 2020-21 season was that Chicago parted ways with Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Corey Crawford. In his place was going to be a rotation/competition of three largely untested players. The results were mixed.
It goes without saying that there’s no reason not to keep Malcolm Subban on the Chicago Blackhawks. He, along with Collin Delia and Kevin Lankinen proved they belong in the NHL but didn’t necessarily prove they were ready to be the top guy in the net.
