The Chicago Blackhawks have quietly made changes to their roster, ones that were mostly overshadowed by Alexander Ovechkin's 800th goal. However, young defenseman Ian Mitchell is slotting into the lineup over other players. Will he stick?

The Chicago Blackhawks are suddenly much better than anyone thought they could be this year, and that makes the rebuild a much more complicated affair. Kyle Davidson, Chicago's GM, can't trade everyone, but he has to move players at some point. Who?
This season might be a good one for people that like to watch statistics. With Chicago beginning what most to be a terrible year in the standings, there might be areas head coach Luke Richardson can begin improving the team.
With the season finally getting off to a start, there are many stories worth following for the Chicago Blackhawks. One story will be veteran players looking to prove they can still compete in the NHL, but only to be traded since Chicago is rebuilding
Will the Chicago Blackhawks still have injured players for opening night of the 2022-23 season? Jujhar Khaira and Connor Murphy are both on IR, and no updates have been available in quite awhile.
With the season several weeks away, the talk around Patrick Kane is already frustrating. The star winger of the Chicago Blackhawks is a feature in many articles, and the volume of content is frustrating.
The Chicago Blackhawks have begun the process of finding their next coach, and among them is respected assistant coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Luke Richardson
The Chicago Blackhawks should largely avoid free agency this year. Spending lots of money on a big-name player won't make the team better and Chicago shouldn't be trying to compete for the Stanley Cup.
Multiple teams have stated that they would be willing to trade their first round picks for quality players. The Chicago Blackhawks should entertain this option, and see if they can make a deal with one of these teams.
The best way for the Chicago Blackhawks to aid their rebuild is to look for players that are being shed by teams up against the cap. Whether it's a bad contract or someone looking for a big payday, Chicago can take on these players
The Chicago Blackhawks have assigned several prospects to their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, in advance of the AHL's playoffs.
