The Chicago Blackhawks are a lot closer to being a problem than many would like to believe. With Seth Jones' contract cleared from the books and two premium assets acquired in return after his trade to Florida, Chicago has many key components of a Stanley Cup contender.
The reason they seem far from that description? Many of those components are not of legal drinking age in the United States. Much has been made of Connor Bedard's frustration this season, but he's a 19-year-old phenom who is used to dominating and having team success.
