Over the last 10 years, the Chicago Blackhawks have had to ship away a great number of players due to salary cap restrictions. Some of those players found their way back to Chicago at one time or another, including Brandon Saad, Patrick Sharp, Andrew Ladd, Kris Versteeg and Brian Campbell.
With a longer-than-usual offseason for Blackhawks fans, many have kept up with the Stanley Cup Playoffs to get their hockey fix and have seen a few familiar names taking part.
