Instead of seeing what could become of Teuvo Teravainen, the Blackhawks have apparently chosen the safe familiarity of Andrew Shaw. How disappointing.
The Chicago Blackhawks needed to move Bryan Bickell's $4 million cap hit. That much I can accept. He's been a major hindrance on the team's ability to build its roster for two years and once again an offseason of reckoning stared back at Chicago. Maybe they even needed to save that $4 million so badly that it meant trading Teuvo Teravainen, a 21-year-old with major talent. Hey, at least they got a couple useful picks, too.
