Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:

Following the Blackhawks involvement in the Mikko Rantanen trade, they remain ‘open for business’ and are looking to improve their roster with young talent. There have been rumors of Connor Bedard being unhappy with how the team has played, and the organization is looking to add talent around him to be in the playoff chase next season.

Florida Panthers News & Notes:

The Panthers sit atop the Atlantic Division, with the Toronto Maple Leafs hot on their trail. With around $2m in cap space to use at the trade deadline, the Panthers may have to be bargain shoppers.
