The Chicago Blackhawks are listening to trade offers for two-time 40-goal scorer Alex DeBrincat, according to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.

The Blackhawks have reportedly had ongoing discussions with teams, and while it's no guarantee they move him, they're seeking a return that would feature a young player, high draft picks, and top prospects.

DeBrincat is just 24 years old and is coming off a season in which he tied his career high with 41 goals and set a new personal best with 78 points. Over the course of his five-year career, he's averaged 35 goals and 68 points per 82 games. His underlying numbers over the last three campaigns are superb, too.

The 5-foot-7 winger has one more year left on his contract with a $6.4-million cap hit before becoming a restricted free agent with arbitration rights. He can become an unrestricted free agent in 2024.

The Blackhawks appear set for a teardown after finishing 27th in the league standings this past season. However, general manager Kyle Davidson said in May there's "absolutely" a place for Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane moving forward. The franchise pillars are each entering the final season of the matching eight-year, $84-million extensions they signed in 2014.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
