Saturday, July 1 was the first day of NHL free agency. Some teams in the Blackhawks’ division had some cap space to play with, while others are up against it before trying to add anything from the open market.
In an effort to keep Blackhawks fans up to date with everything going on around the division, I’ll do my best to keep up with the signings of the other teams in the division as they come in. Note: I’m also listing “losses” via free agency. We’ll circle back with trades that took place in the division as we get closer to training camp.
