The torch has officially been passed.
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane aren’t kids anymore. The Chicago Blackhawks aren’t signing hot-shot free agents like Brian Campbell and Marian Hossa to add veteran talent to a team on the rise. Powerful names have come and now gone, and left the Blackhawks to carry on a legacy of champions.
There is a lot to like about the Blackhawks this year, but also plenty of questions to answer. All the talk now is regarding which talented prospects can crack the roster or how the overflowing bottom six will be structured.
