Marc-Andre Fleury has been fantastic. He has helped them avoid being the worst team in the league with his stellar play but it hasn’t been enough. He has already been moved to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a second-round pick that could become a first.
That trade came after the Hawks shipped Brandon Hagel to the Tampa Bay Lightning last week in a huge deal that fetched the Hawks two first-round picks and two NHL players that are on the younger side. There are plenty of other trades to make with contenders.
