Over the last couple of weeks, there has been much discourse surrounding the Chicago Blackhawks' current state.

Despite being an improved roster on paper, the team has been unable to elevate their game as expected. The frustration has been weighing on fans and the players, who all know this team should be better than their record shows.

A common theme for the Blackhawks this season has been the ability to keep the score close, but not have the offense to pull ahead for a win.

The Blackhawks endured a difficult loss to the Anaheim Ducks, a team they have beaten once this season and were expected to come out on top once again.

A strong showing by Connor Bedard and Jason Dickinson gave the Blackhawks the lead twice, but those were the only times the offense found the back of the net. The third period saw Anaheim comeback and win the game 3-2, handing a frustrating loss to the Blackhawks.

However, their next game against the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers went much differently. The Blackhawks had a strong defensive showing and held Florida to one goal leading to a 3-1 win that will be huge for the team's confidence.

Though the team is coming off a big win, it is apparent that the Blackhawks' offensive struggles need to be addressed.

NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman spoke about a possible trade target for the Blackhawks on his 32 Thoughts segment, that being Morgan Frost of the Philadelphia Flyers.

Frost was a player who many wondered if he would get traded out of Philidelphia over the summer, but no move was made with the 25-year old center.

Morgan Frost could be worth taking a chance on as a player looking for a change of scenery and has proven he can be a capable NHL center.
