2. Could the Blackhawks go after a proven Stanley Cup Champion?

Sam Bennett is about to cash in on some great playoff runs with the Florida Panthers. Last season Bennett had seven goals and 14 points in 19 playoff games with the Panthers and he already has six goals and counting this postseason.

Bennett is a bruiser, someone who can play physical and shine in the playoffs. A lot of teams have Bennett on their radar.

Bennett could help the Blackhawks. Someone who plays the game the right way without the puck and competes night in and night out is exactly what the middle six needs.

Blackhawks fans have some homework over the next few weeks. Keep an eye on Bennett during the Florida Panthers playoff games. Bennett makes an impact night in and night out, Chicago should definitely target someone like that.
