NHL insider Elliotte Friedman revealed over the weekend that aside from 3 Chicago players with no-trade clauses, captain Jonathan Toews, star forward Patrick Kane, and defenseman Seth Jones, every player on the roster is being considered a piece to help Chi-town re-build.
Winger and assistant captain Alex DeBrincat is a player that could be on the trading block in Chicago if the price is right.
According to @FriedgeHNIC, aside from NMCs Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, & Seth Jones, the #Blackhawks are open to listening to trade offers on any player

DeBrincat is coming off a season in which he scored 41 goals over the course of 82 games, or 0.5 goals per game, and there's no question that a huge number of NHL teams will leap at the chance to add a 40+ goal scorer to their roster.
That said, DeBrincat is a key piece of the Chicago team that is trying to reclaim their glory from only a few seasons ago when they won 3 Stanley Cups in 5 years.
Chicago finished 2nd last in their division this year.
