Bedard's new contract will begin in 2026-27, when the salary cap will be $104 million. How will the negotiatons be handled on each side?
The league announced Friday that the cap, which currently sits at $88 million, will surge up to $113.5 million by 2027-28. That could help the Hawks, as a big-market team, in some ways — and hurt them in others.
Seth Jones' name has come up in some trade rumors now that the Chicago Blackhawks have proven they are willing to be active already this season. Even though his name appears to be out there, I don't think trading the team's number one defenseman is worth it yet.
Jones extended his point streak to seven games with an impressive breakout pass Thursday, but the Hawks still lost 3-2.
The Chicago Blackhawks went more than 17 minutes before recording their first shot on goal — after giving up another short-handed goal to the Carolina Hurricanes’ Seth Jarvis.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard didn’t hold back his disappointment after learning Taylor Hall had been traded on Friday. The Hawks sent Hall to the Carolina Hurricanes as part of a blockbuster three-team deal in which they only landed a third-round pick in return for Hall. Chicago also retained 50% of Rantanen's salary in the deal.
Slaggert put the Blackhawks ahead 2-1 at 18:14 with a snap shot from the top of the left circle off a drop pass from Lukas Reichel. Slaggert was playing his first NHL game of the season, having been recalled from Rockford of the American Hockey League on Sunday.
Tyler Bertuzzi scored two power-play goals and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the slumping Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 to end a four-game losing streak.
The Chicago Blackhawks lost 3-2 against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night. If you feel like vomiting, you're going to be shocked when I tell you it's not because of the Blackhawks.
One player that felt impossible to move at the start of the season is Seth Jones. He has a hefty ($9.5M) cap hit, which will be on the books until 2029. For the production that he brings, it is hard to justify this contract as anything other than albatross.
Well, here we are. It’s the end of January, and the Chicago Blackhawks have already played 51 of their 82 games in the 2024-25 season. We all know by now it hasn’t been the greatest campaign.
