Connor Bedard is a 19-year-old phenom who is used to dominating and having team success.

The potential for Chicago 's results to improve quickly is high, especially with the rising NHL salary cap.

Bedard 's development this season has been fun to watch, but he's starting to put the offensive side of his game together.

With Seth Jones' contract cleared from the books and two premium assets acquired in return, Chicago has many key components of a Stanley Cup contender.

Chicago has a number of young players who are already playing in the NHL , and an extensive group of prospects on the cusp.

Spencer Knight has a912 save percentage in 24 games for the Blackhawks this season .

The team is incredibly young, with stocked prospect cupboards that can be used to acquire proven NHL talent via trade.

There is a real possibility that Chicago is much better next season , especially if it makes a splash in free agency.
