2. Colin Blackwell, C
Like Johnson, Colin Blackwell is another forward who the Blackhawks could move at the deadline.
The 30-year-old veteran hasn't seen a ton of action this year. He's been limited to just 26 games as we approach March, recording three goals with as many assists while averaging 14:34 time on ice. Although his offense hasn't been special, he has been defensively productive, generating 14 takeaways (to 6 giveaways) and 11 blocked shots.
Blackwell won't generate a haul for the Blackhawks, but moving on from him does free up a roster spot and $1.2 million in cap space. Besides, contenders love defensively responsible forwards come the postseason, meaning Chicago should at least be able to get some sort of draft compensation in a deal.
Blackwell has had a solid run over the last two seasons, but everything must eventually come to an end.
