The Chicago Blackhawks have an interesting trade deadline ahead of them, hopefully, one that is more quiet than usual.
Trading for rental pieces is something a team does when they are trying to find that one missing piece in order to get the Stanley Cup. For the Blackhawks, they are not in that position.
The Hawks went into this season expecting to be bad. While the team has been better than expected, they are still a few years before they are truly going to be a contender again.
