Could the Chicago Blackhawks do the unthinkable with their cap space?
As the trade deadline draws near, there are a lot of ways things could work out for the Chicago Blackhawks, but with each loss, it’s more and more likely that General Manager Stan Bowman will be a seller.
I’m not the first to suggest the Chicago Blackhawks could use the cap space it currently has to take on a bad contract – one that might come with a sweetener or two. This sort of thing might be unsavory, but not as unsavory as one possible contract they could take on, David Backes.
Yes, that David Backes.
The one under contract with the Boston Bruins, formerly of the St. Louis Blues.
