The Chicago Blackhawks’ general manager was one year removed from a busy deadline, and his team was in the same position: near the bottom of the standings, with no hope for the playoffs and a number of players with expiring contracts.
It turns out the Blackhawks were one of the quieter teams before 2 p.m. CT, with no players being moved on deadline day itself and only one Blackhawks-related transaction with another team taking place.
