The Chicago Blackhawks top need this offseason still hasn’t been satisfied: acquiring a defenseman who can play in their top four. Reports surfaced last week that they were looking to trade for Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Justin Faulk, but wouldn’t accept the price of Brandon Saad in return.
Faulk remains on the Hurricanes and the Blackhawks still need a defenseman, so this trade remains a possibility. So, if it goes through, what exactly would Chicago be getting with Faulk?
For answers to that question and a few others, we turned to Brian LeBlanc, the managing editor at Canes County.
