The supposed NHL start is just a month away, and it would be a lot of fun to take a look at a few potential lineups that we could see next season. Things are going to look a little different for the Chicago Blackhawks next year.
Losing Brandon Saad is going to hurt the Blackhawks almost as much as losing Corey Crawford. Saad was a big piece of the team’s depth and one that could play in any situation. I think people forget that the team brought him back because Chicago lacked the presence that Marian Hossa brought to the team.
