The Blackhawks are so screwed. I mean, they'll certainly be a good team... it's not like they are going to fall of the table or anything... but their goaltending situation is a disaster, they've got a defenseman making over 7 mil a year against the cap who isn't a top pairing guy, and they are going to have to start handing out raises between this year and next to a bunch of young guys who will be RFA-eligible.
Barker's a RFA next year.
Kane, Toews and Keith will all be RFAs the year after that.

Kane, Toews and Keith can all command 6 million. Ouch. I just hope no other GM is dumb enough to take Campbell or Huet off their hands.
