The Chicago Blackhawks need to make some additions to their team if they want to go anywhere in 2020-21 and free agency might be the place to do it.

The Chicago Blackhawks were not having a good season before the pause of the NHL season. It was a year with some expectations but once again they didn’t have the depth to compete with the good teams in the Western Conference night in and night out. They were very streaky as well. They would win a bunch of games in a row and then lose a bunch of games in a row.

They need to get some more help for Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, and Duncan Keith before their careers come to an end. They all have some really good years left so the Hawks might look to free agency to try and add some much-needed depth to this team. They need help at all positions going forward so you never know who catches their eyes over the summer. They made some moves last summer that didn’t pan out very well but they are hoping to do better this time around.

Free agency is a dangerous game but the Hawks need to do something. We don’t know how the draft is going to work out and most of those kids won’t be ready when their core is still in their prime anyway. The management of this team claims that they are still in a win-now mode so that suggests that they might try and be active in free agency. There are some really good ones this year that might be able to help but the key is to convince them that they can come and win in Chicago with the Blackhawks.
