One of their few bright spots has been Connor Bedard, whose offensive abilities have kept Blackhawks fans intrigued with the team despite their lack of winning.

Stars Connected to Blackhawks’ Seth Jones The Chicago Blackhawks are in the middle of a rebuild and are still a season or two away from being able to call themselves contenders. They could look to offload some players before the 2025 Trade Deadline, and a recent article from The Fourth Period says that one of their defenders, Seth Jones, has been linked to the Dallas Stars. Does it Make Sense for the Stars? The Stars would have to move some money around to bring Jones in, but they would benefit from adding a right-shot defender considering how weak the right side of their blue line is.

Senators Connected to Canucks’ Elias Pettersson The Vancouver Canucks have been trying to make some moves this season as the reported rift between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller has caused issues in their dressing room. In a recent article from The Fourth Period, it was suggested that the Ottawa Senators could be looking at acquiring Pettersson. Could Senators Make it Work? The Senators could somehow make a deal work, but they would have to move some money around for it to become a realistic consideration. They would likely have to move Josh Norris in return, but it's something that could help them get from pretenders near the bottom of the standings to contenders pushing for a playoff spot.
