Screwing up your two most valuable trade assets seems pretty relevant. Beyond that, if they trade Kane and Domi much earlier they likely already have 10 fewer points plus more in return.
They couldn’t trade Kane until he said it was ok to trade him and reading the Athletic’s account Kane had zero interest in helping the Blackhawks get a better return.
Debricant you were looking for maybe a prospect or some extra draft picks. Korchinski seems to be a really great pick so far.
Domi was always getting traded later because he was the guy you went after you missed on your primary targets. The Blackhawks are 1 point ahead of the Columbus and the Blackhawks are barely putting on an AHL team at this point.
