Multiple sources have confirmed the Blackhawks are prepared to be taking offers this off-season on star forward and 40 goal scorer, one went as far as saying if DeBrincat isn't gone by next season, he is almost certain he won't be around by the end of it.

What are the pros of trading away a star forward like Alex DeBrincat?

Pros:
-The Blackhawks would receive a HUGE return, double OR triple on what they did for Brandon Hagel which would be a insane haul for the Blackhawks and a amazing start to their rebuild. Elliot Friedman stated if a team traded for DeBrincat it would hurt their franchise- meaning a large return for Chicago.

Cons:
-DeBrincat leaving Chicago would frustrate Patrick Kane, potentially affecting his thoughts on his future with the Blackhawks.
-There is always that «what if» prospects don't pan out, if the Blackhawks receive a high prospect for DeBrincat, and he doesn't pan out to his expectations- moving a already proven DeBrincat would turn out to be a huge loss.
