Blackhawks Could Make a Splash Soon Amid Slow Start

The Chicago Blackhawks may pursue a significant trade after starting the 2026-27 season with a disappointing 4-8 record. According to insider Frank Seravalli, general manager Kyle Davidson is actively exploring the trade market, specifically seeking shoot-first, scoring wingers with size. Chicago has struggled offensively, with Patrick Kane and Connor Bedard serving as their top points contributors through the opening 12 games.

Justin Lynch reports that the Philadelphia Flyers could emerge as a potential trade partner for a permanent deal. Reporter Anthony Di Marco noted the Flyers hold interest in Chicago's Frank Nazar and Oliver Moore, while winger Owen Tippett could fit Chicago's needs.
