Blackhawks News & Rumors: Perry, Kane, Beauvillier & More
December 1, 2023 by Connor Smith
It was a rollercoaster-type ending to November for the Chicago Blackhawks, who sit at 7-14-0 nearly two months into the 2023-24 season. From Corey Perry’s tenure with the team ending to a franchise legend joining another Original Six club, the news cycle was in full swing and then some this past week. Let’s discuss everything that went down in the latest edition of Blackhawks News & Rumors.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been through many roster changes in the past few years, but within the past week, they have gone through two major transitions. Taylor Hall is out for the season with an ACL injury, and Corey Perry’s contract was terminated due to “workplace misconduct.”
Chicago lost two big scorers, and many questioned how they would address it. General manager Kyle Davidson stated he wasn’t looking to add to the team via trade. But it turns out he had something up his sleeve as he traded a conditional 2024 fifth-round draft pick to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for forward Anthony Beauvillier four days later on Nov. 29. A few things stand out about the newest Blackhawk.
