The term “One Goal” has a completely different meaning with in the Chicago Blackhawks organization than in the way I’m going to use it today.
For the NHL Trade Deadline this year, Chicago had one goal in mind and that was to get more draft capital and more young, project-type players (with all that juicy, attendant upside that makes trying the “project” worth it). Fortunately, Stan Bowman did just that as the clock struck 2:00 p.m. on Monday and the Blackhawks converted their final four trades of the 2021 season.
Stan Bowman on Blackhawks' trades: "We're happy with how it went… It's really been consistent with what we've been trying to do going back to the offseason: we're trying to rebuild our asset pool… We did what we set out to do."
