Blackhawks captain calls out his new General Manager at today's media session
Coming into this season it looked very bright for the Chicago Blackhawks. They had acquired a top-tier defenceman in Seth Jones, traded for a vezina winning goalie in Marc-Andre Fleury, brought in veteran Jake McCabe, and another year of development for young stars; Alex Debrincat, Dylan Strome and Kirby Dach. Also, possibly what was most exciting for Blackhawks fans was the return of captain Jonathan Toews, who missed the entire 2020-2021 season.
But even with all this new and developed talent, the Hawks just couldn't quite find their stride this season which led to trading away a few players at the deadline, most notably, Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Hawks are current sitting 27th in the league and the recently appointed General Manager Kyle Davidson announced that the team would be entering a rebuild. This has not sat well with players like Toews who still believe that they were capable of being a competitive team.
Here's what he had to say about his GM at today's conference.
«I'd like to sit down more often with Kyle (Davidson) and our coaching staff. Sometimes it helps me to hear their honesty.»
