The Chicago Blackhawks utilized their cap space well last season when the team acquired Brett Connolly from the Florida Panthers. However, the team used his contract as leverage to acquire former 1st round pick Henrik Borgstrom in the deal as well. With the Blackhawks still have ample cap space they could look to acquire another bad contract or two along with some additional assets. I’ll take a look at five players the Hawks could trade for to bring in additional assets.
First, is Tyler Johnson from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
