The Chicago Blackhawks, poorly ranked in the NHL's Western Association, are planning to make some departures as their playoff chances dwindle. Despite the arrival of rookie Connor Bedard, the team has no Stanley Cup aspirations, trailing the Coyotes by 15 points. Rumors are already circulating, according to Boston Hockey Now and reported by Le Journal de Québec, notably about the possible departure of veteran Tyler Johnson, whom the Hawks would be willing to give up before the trade deadline. Johnson, 33, offers a wealth of experience despite a drop in production since his arrival in Chicago. In 32 games this season, he scored 11 points. His contract is worth $5 million until this summer.
