Massive Trade Speculations Surfaces That Will Drastically Affect Connor Bedard
Nick Foligno has certainly brought value to the Chicago Blackhawks, but the spotlight is now on him due to his contract situation, making him a potential trade target as it approaches its end this season.
For
Connor Bedard, dealing with the news of
Taylor Hall's season-ending knee surgery and
Corey Perry's contract termination is as tough as it gets. Now, reports suggest that
Nick Foligno might be traded at the NHL trade deadline, leaving Bedard without linemates and a father-like figure in Foligno.
Two teams are reportedly eyeing Foligno:
The Rangers, off to a great start this season, are looking to bolster their bottom six as buyers for the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline. Bringing in Foligno's experience could be a smart move, adding leadership and versatility to complement the Rangers' roster dynamics.
The Bruins consider a reunion with Foligno, emerging as another contender for the forward's services. If the Blackhawks retain some salary in a trade, it could sweeten the deal for the Bruins. Foligno's past stint with the Bruins highlighted his effectiveness on the fourth line and his ability to contribute as a net-front presence on the power play.
As the trade deadline looms, speculation around Foligno's future heats up. The Blackhawks hold the key decision of whether to keep or move the veteran forward, shaping which team, if any, will secure his services for the rest of the season.
Hockey fans eagerly await to see if Foligno finds a new home with either the Rangers or the Bruins in the coming months.
