The Chicago Blackhawks season has been well documented due to rookie sensation Connor Bedard and his early success in the season. Due to his success rumors are going around that this may lead to big name players wanting to sign in Chicago.
The Two Big Names Rumored To Join Chicago Next Season
Both of these players are on Canadian teams and having career years at that. Both are on expiring deals and have not signed extensions yet.
Those two players are Toronto's William Nylander and Vancouver's Elias Pettersson. On the latest Edition of Spittin Chiclets' "Game Notes" it was said that Pettersson wants to play with Bedard.
"Do not be surprised if you see Elias Pettersson try to make his way to the Chicago Blackhawks to be with Bedard next year.
I can see him out of there (Vancouver), and what a spot to go to. And that's a team (Chicago) that has the cap space, right?"
It also mentioned the Swedish superstar being interested in joining the Blackhawks as well.
"Nylander, too. There's been a lot of talk of Nylander going to Chicago as well. That's part of it, too."
How Much Sense Either One Of These Players Make For The Blackhawks
Adding one of if not both of these players would accelerate the rebuild for the Hawks, who after the upcoming draft will have a plethora of young prospects to build around and become a dynasty once again.
Both of these players are young enough to grow with Bedard and still be in their primes when they go on a run for the cup.
These players would help give Bedard someone to pass the puck to and a pass from as right now Bedard is considered the only threat on the Blackhawks.
