CHANGES

IN –  Brad Richards

The Blackhawks have become the poster franchise for how to build a team.  Keep the stars happy and fill in the rest of the roster with cheaper players who want to be there and will play for less knowing the opportunity to win is there.  There isn’t much turnover on the roster and the top end talent that is still entering their prime are locked up for a long time.
