NHL Trade Deadline: Chicago Blackhawks

Filed under: Blackhawks, Western, Trade Deadline

The Blackhawks have two of the NHL's best defensemen in Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook -- but will be looking for more blue line help at the NHL trade deadline.

If they can afford it.

"When you look around the league, I think everybody has their comparable needs," said coach Joel Quenneville. "I think everybody likes to have depth on the back end. That's generally how everybody would like to improve their team."

Keith won the Norris Trophy in 2010 after he and blue line partner Seabrook helped the Hawks claim the Stanley Cup. They also played key roles as Team Canada won Olympic gold. But after that dynamic duo and Brian Campbell, the Hawks don't have much defensive experience as they try to defend their crown.
