Over the last couple weeks, Insiders have speculated that some Blackhawks core players might be on the move this offseason and today they were proven right.

The Blackhawks kicked off the day by trading Niklas Hjalmarsson to the Coyotes and set the hockey world off by eventually trading star winger Artemi Panarin to bring back Brandon Saad. A lot of opinions are rolling in, but for the most part, people are baffled by the trades the Blackhawks have been making.

There are definitely some significant changes going on in Chicago and TSN’s Frank Seravalli might have some insight as apparently Toews and Kane were missing Saad on the team.

And still, there are plenty of Blackhawks fan happy to see him return.
