Chicago Finding It Difficult To Make A Trade
from Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune, Before dropping their season-high fifth consecutive game, a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Flames on Friday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome, general manager Stan Bowman said he was not close to any trades that could help the Hawks turn their fortunes around.
Specifically, he has nothing going to shore up a defense that has been consistent...
The Bowman Effect - Trade Tactics
With the deadline looming, Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman has the equivalent of nearly $15 million in cap space that is growing in size every single day.

Scott Burnside and Pierre LeBrun discuss Chicago and Detroit goaltending, Sam Gagner’s night and what will Calgary do?... BURNSIDE: Here’s the dilemma for Stan Bowman as I see it. The Blackhawks can light it up with anyone in the league—they are 4th in goals per game—and they do have a blue line that boasts top-end talent in former Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith, Canadian...
Streaking: CHI 1, CAL 3
The Blackhawks have dropped 5 games straight with the latest loss suffered at the hands of the Calgary Flames. No doubt a rush of concern has swept the Blackhawk nation, all for good reasons.

Against the Flames the Hawks had no where to go but up...
