Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are still on the Chicago Blackhawks, taking up a lot of the team’s salary, but this season is showing that the true Toews and Kane era is over in Chicago.
The top six is made up of players like Alex DeBrincat, Dylan Strome, Dominik Kubalik, and Pius Suter to name a few. Every one of these players was not drafted the last time Chicago won a Stanley Cup.
The summer following Chicago’s last Stanley Cup would feature the draft that took Dylan Strome third overall, and a lot of the current Blackhawks’ players were just kids at that time.
