It’s important to report any news surrounding a professional sports team, especially during the offseason. That quiet time is when stories dry up, so pretty much anything that can stir the pulse gets written about.
Last week, The Athletic’s Scott Powers informed the Blackhawks universe that former team member Artemi Panarin would be open to rejoining the club in the future. He’s presently on the second and final year of a bridge contract given to him by the Blackhawks before he was traded to Columbus last offseason.
On the surface, this is a cool thing for Blackhawks fans to hear.
