I just don't see the Blackhawks making the playoffs (5 points back with 5 games remaining with 4 against playoff teams), so it is time to move on to the offseason.
First order of business is that Bettman needs to do the right thing and rig the draft for the Blackhawks to get the top pick. He failed in this task last year.
9 million AAV to the Bread Man. He loves Chicago. He has given Chicago a discount in the past to build a team. Make it happen. The defense isn't getting fixed so we are just going to have to outscore teams and possess the puck more. Our blueline is going to suck. After getting him locked up, move Ansimov for more cap space
If we can get the Bread Man back we can roll out 3 very good lines. You will have pairings of Saad-Toews, Kane-Panarin, and DeBrincat-Strome.
Filing out the lines it is probably something like:
Line 1: Saad-Toews-Sikura (assuming he re-signed)
Line 2: Panarin-Caggiula-Kane
Line 3: DeBrincat-Strome-Kahun
