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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
