According to multiple reports, Duncan Keith has requested a trade to the Northwest to be closer to family. Brent Seabrook has announced he will not play again due to wear and tear from his various injuries. Are we seeing the end of the Blackhawks core of players from the Stanley Cup Run of the 2010s?
All good things must come to an end. We have already seen Marian Hossa step away from hockey, and Niklas Hjalmarsson traded to Arizona. Coach Q is plying his trade in Florida, and much of the roster that won three Stanley Cup Championships have moved on from the NHL.
