There are many unanswered questions about the state of the Chicago Blackhawks. Let’s focus on 5 questions that are weighing heavily on fans’ minds.

Yes, the team is above .500 for the first time in a long time. Yes, we now have a lot of cap space to make a trade this season, but that still does not change my mind that this Chicago Blackhawks team has too many flaws to fix.

In an ideal world, we could just turn back the clock on Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, and Duncan Keith and remove 10 years of wear and tear, but we can’t. Instead, what we need to start doing is looking to the future.

With that being said, here are some of the questions I have for the future, and how I believe the Blackhawks can move forward.
