Blackhawks Open “Shop Window” on Veterans After Quebec Setback
Following a tough defeat in Quebec, GM Dillon Anderson has confirmed that key veterans will be made available as the club looks to reload for the stretch drive. The blockbuster trade of Jonathan Quick to Colorado underscored the value of proven talent—market interest on the 2012 Conn Smythe winner set the bar for upcoming negotiations.
“We underachieved in Quebec,” Anderson said. “That loss crystallized our need to add future assets. With Quick off the books, we’re engaging teams on a slate of experienced players who can help contenders now.”
