In all likelihood, the Chicago Blackhawks have a very slim chance if at all to make the playoffs this year. Sitting at 20-20-6 (46 points) and last place in the central division, and 12th place in the western conference, it’ll be very tough to make the playoffs with teams like the St.Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, and among other top tier teams in the same division as the Blackhawks.
So why not trade both Robin Lehner and Corey Crawford at the trade deadline to see what you’d get in return, and let Collin Delia and Kevin Lankinen play out the rest of the season in hopes of getting a top pick in the NHL draft?
