3 moves Blackhawks must make in 2024 NHL offseason

Despite an electric rookie season from No. 1 overall pick Connor Bedard, it was another miserable campaign for the Chicago Blackhawks. The team finished dead last in the Central Division with a ghastly 23-53-6 record, and never looked like anything but a bottom feeder. Bedard made things exciting, scoring 22 goals and 61 points in his first 68 games as an NHLer, but things went off the rails when the 18-year-old was out of the lineup. It's going to take a couple of years for this roster to be good again, following the heydays of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews that led to three Stanley Cups in 2010, 2013 and 2015.
