Chicago might be turning a corner. The Chicago Blackhawks are reportedly eyeing three high-end forwards in the trade market-Owen Tippett, Jordan Kyrou, and Andrei Svechnikov-signaling that general manager Kyle Davidson may shift from rebuilding to building around the rising star in the lineup.

That potential reshuffle could certainly change the dynamic around Connor Bedard, already turning heads league-wide.

Bedard's start to the 2025-26 season roars. He enters the month ranked second in the NHL for points and showed out last game with two goals and two assists, including the go-ahead tally, to lift Chicago from a 3-goal hole to a 5-3 win.

That performance built on his impressive earlier seasons, when he totaled 61 points as a rookie and 67 in year two.

Adding a high-end forward or two around him makes sense. Tippett, Kyrou, or Svechnikov could bring skill, speed, and finishing ability to lines that need punch.

That kind of supporting cast doesn't just pad ice time-it creates space, draws defenders, and gives Bedard more opportunities in the slot and on the power play.

New weapons could amplify Bedard's scoring

If Chicago lands one of these trade-linked forwards, Bedard could get elite help-and the production could skyrocket accordingly. Right now the Hawks roster leans young and unseasoned.

Kyrou has been linked to the Blackhawks in the past and would be the most ideal addition out of the three players named.

Adding a proven forward-looking term gives leadership and consistency to feed off.

For fans it's exciting-Bedard already looks like a future star, but with a winger who can finish or draw coverage away from him, he might hit 90-plus points.

Whether Davidson follows through will tell us just how serious Chicago is about competing again.
