Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson has been busy during this 2026 NHL trade deadline, completing three trades, seeing the likes of Connor Murphy, Jason Dickinson, Colton Dach, and others on the move.
Chicago has gained more draft capital in return, plus the addition of Andrew Mangiapane to the forward core. The Blackhawks' defense will be without Murphy, with a younger group hitting the ice. The offense will also have a much different look post-trade deadline as a result of these deals, with the youth expected to step up in the absence of the vets.
How the Blackhawks offense will be impacted by the trade deadline
With three bottom-six players on the move, Chicago's third and fourth lines will see changes in the rotation.
