Chicago Blackhawks made decision on free agent Mitch Marner: Report
The Chicago Blackhawks‘ front office is expected to be more aggressive in landing talent this offseason. The team wants to provide help for new head coach Jeff Blashill as he develops a young core with Connor Bedard in Year 3.
The main obstacle for the Blackhawks appears to be money. Chicago wants to land premium help in free agency, but with the team still years away from competing, general manager Kyle Davidson can’t go all-in on players like Nikolaj Ehlers this summer.
The Chicago Blackhawks made a decision on Mitch Marner
Per Scott Powers of The Athletic, the Blackhawks are interested in veteran right-wing Mitch Marner. However, Chicago knows they’re unlikely to sign him because they’re more than willing to be outbid this offseason. They made a decision they won’t overpay for Marner this summer.
“For one, if Marner does hit the open market, the Blackhawks, like everyone else, would likely inquire about him,” Powers wrote. “The Blackhawks just aren’t expected to open their checkbook and allow Marner to fill out the amount. That alone probably wouldn’t make them a true player for him.
“As much as they like Marner, they don’t see him — or any unrestricted free agent — as an essential piece to add, considering where they are in their rebuild. He isn’t the Brian Campbell or Marián Hossa that puts them over the top. Two years from now, as the Blackhawks’ youth grows older and more established, that could be different.”
Landing an elite free agent might be hard this summer
The worry is that signing Marner, 28, means his skillset will diminish when Chicago’s core is ready to start competing in the postseason. The Blackhawks want to save their checkbook for when they’re prepared to grab hardware.
Powers doesn’t think the Blackhawks are ready to sign a “significant” restricted free agent. For now, Chicago will focus on adding premium talent in the draft with the No. 3 pick. Then add the best players they can on a budget.
Unfortunately for Chicago, the team isn’t a top destination for free agents, given where the team is in the rebuild after finishing with the league’s second-worst record. The only reason a player would sign with the Blackhawks is for money.
It’s a rough cycle for Chicago until Bedard and the young core start producing.
