The Chicago Blackhawks are in a bit of a slump, missing their star Connor Bedard to injury. To rejuvenate the team and the fans, an insider reports 3 massive names that could be signed.
Insider Suggests the Blackhawks Sign These Three Massive Names
The Chicago Blackhawks season is slowly slipping from their fingers, even though there weren't very high expectations for the club. The turning point has been missing Connor Bedard and Nick Foligno due to injury. With no timeline for Bedard to return, NHL insider Mark Lazerus has suggested the Blackhawks call the following free agents.
OK, hear me out. Kyle Davidson's next three calls should be to: 1. Phil Kessel 2. Jonathan Toews. 3. Jaromir Jagr
To be clear, Lazerus isn't suggesting that the Blackhawks are actually looking at these players, but suggesting that their addition would bring some energy to fans and even the team for the remainder of the season.
Phil Kessel Could Be Another Veteran Option For Bedard
We all know Corey Perry was supposed to be Bedard's mentor, until his downfall that led to a contract termination. With Foligno also out with a broken finger, the Blackhawks should seriously take a look at bringing in Phil Kessel. The hype around Kessel seems to have died down, and he would likely be cheap given his desire to continue playing.
Sign Phil Kessel right f*ckin now #Blackhawks with all the injuries you need to fill roster spots Phil Kessel would help.
Kessel could be another veteran mentor for Bedard should the Blackhawks go after him, and would be a great depth scorer for the team to add for cheap.
