Information Indicates That a Deal is Imminent for The Blackhawks: And Prospects Are Not Favorable for The Chicago Fans
As the NHL trade deadline nears with each passing moment, teams are finalizing their strategies leading up to March 3rd, after which point trades will be restricted. While many teams have already determined their course of action, the Chicago Blackhawks, who are widely acknowledged as sellers at the deadline, are experiencing a surge in trade negotiations.
Patrick Kane's agent, Pat Brisson, stated:
"Following the Bo Horvat trade, a few teams called in a state of panic, concerned that a deal had already been struck.» - Pat Brisson
This refers to teams frantically inquiring if the Blackhawks' stance had altered after the Vancouver Canucks traded away their captain Bo Horvat, who holds a similar value to Patrick Kane.
The panic among teams is not just limited to inquiries, but has manifested in tangible actions, as evidenced by the roster of scouts present at the United Centre, home of the Blackhawks, during yesterday's game.
Here is the list:
