Chicago's 2015-16 season preview !

[BlackHawk Down (Seb)]

The Chicago Blackhawks enter the season after many players left a squad that finish 1st in its division last year.

Departures: Andrew Cogliano, Dany Heatley, Duncan Keith, Ryan Withney
Acquisitions: Sven Baertschi, Johnny Oduya, Brian Ward, Toni Rajala, Ty Wishart

Analysis: The team lost a lost of secondary scoring but still has his 3 stars in Kane, Toews and Krejci. The top defensive pair in Seabrook and Doughty will carry the load of minutes on the back end. The team showed confidence in Carey Price has they signed him to a long term contract. The teams long term success will probably rely on who steps up behind the big line. Big things are expected for Austin Watson and Nikita Gusev.

On defense, coaches will probably send the guys with the hot end since couple of players have what it takes to fill in behind Carle and Niskanen.

Rumors say Chicago might be in a transition year, aiming at the 2017 draft....
We will see...
