On Monday’s episode of the “32 Thoughts” Podcast, Elliotte Friedman offered more smoke around the trade rumors surrounding the Chicago Blackhawks right now. Friedman said he thinks “teams are trying to find out what they’re willing to do” and that there’s talk about a log of the names both on the NHL roster and in the pipeline. And, again, he said the Blackhawks’ five picks in the first two rounds of the 2027 NHL Draft are very much in play.
“I do think the Blackhawks are trying to do something. I think they are trying to find, in particular, offensive help. So they have five picks in the upcoming draft that are early. They have theirs, which is now looking like it’s going to be a pretty high pick again. They have Edmonton’s. They have Florida’s and then they have their second-round pick, which looks like it’s going to be pretty high, and they have Vancouver’s second-round pick, which is pretty high in the second round.
“I don’t know that they’re looking at trading their pick, but I definitely think the Florida pick is in play, I definitely think the Edmonton pick is in play, I obviously believe those second-rounders could be in play. They have [Jordan] Greenway out there. They have [Teuvo] Teräväinen out there. I think Teräväinen needs a fresh start. That has not worked very well this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if the player seems the same way too, although, again, I don’t know that for sure.”

— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) November 9, 2026 Also on their Monday episode, Friedman reported Bowen Byram has seen the specialist he needed/wanted to see before returning. Check that box. He was on the ice with Patrick Kane well before the rest of the Blackhawks on Monday morning.

— Tab Bamford (@The1Tab) November 9, 2026 Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill was asked about Byram’s status after practice. Here’s his… update(?).“He spent time with the specialist last week, and I think progress was definitely made. I don’t want to get into it because I don’t know enough about it. What that means, we’ll see.”
Not surprisingly, Arvid Söderblom cleared waivers on Tuesday and was assigned to Rockford. Kalen Lumpkins of the Chicago Tribune asked Spencer Knight for his thoughts on the change behind him in the Blackhawks’ depth chart. He was pretty firm with his comments. Mark Lazerus wrote a column that defends… Kevin Korchinski. It’s a larger conversation about the plan — or lack thereof — with the Blackhawks on the back end. Yeah, depth is a concern, especially with only two right-handed defensemen on the roster. But there are guys making egregious errors regularly who continue getting 20 minutes a night while Korchinski crosses his fingers he might get a chance to get the experience he needs to prove he’s worthy of more ice time.Is Korchinski going to singlehandedly save a season that’s been slipping away since the opening puck drop? Of course not. But can he really hurt at this point? Can he at least get a real chance? Everyone else has. And how’s that been going?
Sam Rinzel — also 22, also a first-rounder — can make ghastly mistakes in his own end, fumble clearing attempts, lose coverages, and get a chance to redeem himself the next night. Wyatt Kaiser had a very difficult stretch during which every mistake he made seemed to end up in the back of the Blackhawks’ net, but he got to work through it and has been very effective of late (his minus-6 in Raleigh notwithstanding). Alex Vlasic has bad nights, but he’s always right back on the top pairing. Even [Ethan] Del Mastro gets a fair amount of runway.
NEW: The Kevin Korchinski conundrum is indicative of a larger concern with the flailing Blackhawks: There just doesn’t seem to be any semblance of an actual plan.My column: t.co/Lq9qyRF9fA
— Mark Lazerus (@MarkLazerus) November 9, 2026 I wholeheartedly agree with Ben Pope’s comment here. Andrew Mangiapane is one of the 12 most effective forwards on the Blackhawks’ NHL roster right now. He should be playing every night until something changes. And I say that as someone who will admit to having left him out of my preseason lineup projections because I didn’t believe he was one of the best… 15 forwards in the organization. Kudos to Mangiapane for — when he’s able to stay healthy — being an effective player. And consider this an amplification of questions about the rest of the roster.I strongly believe Mangiapane should be in the Blackhawks' lineup every day. He's arguably the only veteran forward who fits the speed identity AND makes the team tougher to play against. t.co/RAx7m84V4R
