Chicago Blackhawks are confident this team is something special.
We feel we have the best defense in NHL and our RW depth is unmatched in NHL.
We can role 4 lines again which was the backbone of our strong 2009 and 2010 playoff teams. In net Crawford has established himself as a #1 and Sanford has always been a dependable #2 in NHL.
We are tight to cap so we will use Rockford Shuttle with Morin to help increase our cap room as we did with Cam Barker and Jack Skille in past. If an injury should arise we will consider other roster moves to increase cap room if needed
