When we look at the 2022-2023 season for the Chicago Blackhawks, what is important? Wins? No. Maybe the lack there of to secure the best lottery odds. Development? No, for the simple reason that we don't currently have a prospect stable large enough and of age to be here at this level yet. So what is the most important thing? From my point of view,…

By Chris Johnston NorthStar Bets Fri., Jan. 6, 20234 min. read No one is explicitly using the'T' word. You know, the one that rhymes with "sank." But it may not be a complete coincidence that three teams at the bottom of the NHL standings are currently pacing towards some of the lowest point totals we've seen recorded in the last two decades. Not…

Unlike the NFL, the NHL doesn't simply reward the worst team in the league with the first overall pick at the entry draft. The NHL has taken steps to prevent teams from tanking by establishing a lottery system for the first overall pick. I disagree wildly with those steps - tanking is going to happen whether the league tries to discourage it or not…

The Chicago Blackhawks are a very bad hockey team. They are amongst the worst in the entire National Hockey League for the first time in a long time.

They still have a couple of legends left over…

This Blackhawks season is going to test fans. It's going to test some players. It's likely to test Jonathan Toews' and Patrick Kane's loyalty. It's unlikely to test Luke Richardson.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - The Blackhawks didn't like reading and hearing all the things the hockey world said about them leading into this season; that they were sure to be terrible, that they were designed to fail, that they were in contention to be the worst team in the league.

In a wild day of trades ahead of Thursday night's NHL Draft, the Blackhawks dealt All-Star Alex DeBrincat to the Ottawa Senators for the seventh and 39th picks in the 2022 draft, as well as a 2024 third-round selection.

Chicago and Los Angeles meet for Thursday night hockey on the West Coast, and I'm eyeing the underdog in my Blackhawks vs. Kings NHL prediction. Chicago is a poor hockey team, sitting in 10th place in the West with just 12 points. However, I'm not very high on the Kings, either.
