The finale of our Central Division preview covers the Chicago Blackhawks, a team that was once a bully to the Nashville Predators. They would haunt me in my dreams while winning multiple Stanley Cups despite valiant efforts from the Predators. That hasn’t been the case in recent memory.
Truth be told, the Blackhawks have went all in on rebuilding. They’re gradually becoming a more complete team after being extremely top-heavy for far too long. I don’t believe they’re going to return to dominance anytime soon, but they are showing improvement.
The Blackhawks finished last season somewhat on a high note getting points in 12 of their last 16 games.
