The Chicago Blackhawks won’t return to the United Center until March 6 against the Vancouver Canucks. That’s a big date because the National Hockey League’s trade deadline is also that afternoon, meaning a handful of Blackhawks may have already played their final games at the Madhouse on Madison.
General manager Kyle Davidson has some veteran trade chips he could look to move before the deadline. Forwards Jason Dickinson, Ilya Mikheyev, and Nick Foligno are all on expiring contracts. As are defensemen Connor Murphy and Matt Grzelcyk. It’s Murphy who might be the most attractive of this group on the trade market, so let’s take a look at what his market value might be.
