Chicago Blackhawks: Crawford getting traded to Panthers makes the most sense

As it stands for the Chicago Blackhawks, both Corey Crawford and Robin Lehner are on the final years of their respective contracts. The Blackhawks are unlikely to resign both of them. Chances are, they’ll keep one of them and bring up a goalie from Rockford to backup Crawford or Lehner.

Meanwhile, the Panthers are playing well in most aspects of the game. Their exception is goaltending. Between the two goalies on their team, they hold a .898% save percentage. For example, the league’s average is .904%. Me putting it lightly would be saying they struggle to keep the puck out of their own net.
