Does taking on a contract like Andrew Ladd’s work for the Blackhawks?

The Chicago Blackhawks have the cap space to bring on some bad contracts. Earlier this week, I talked about how Taylor Hall is a potential player the team could utilize to add a prospect or two; another example would be Andrew Ladd.
Andrew Ladd is not the player he once was. Since signing with the New York Islanders on July 1st, 2016, his 38.5 million dollar cap hit has turned into a rather large nuisance for the team. Ladd has not been great with the Islanders and has spent most of this season on the Taxi Squad until getting sent down to the minors a few weeks ago.
