The Chicago Blackhawks currently have quite a lot of depth at the center ice position, especially now that captain Jonathan Toews has returned to the lineup after missing the entire 2020-21 season to deal with an illness called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS).
With Toews,
Tyler Johnson,
Ryan Carpenter,
Adam Gaudette and
Kirby Dach creating a logjam down the middle, the Blackhawks are looking to trade
Dylan Strome according to Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
"Keep an eye on the Chicago Blackhawks, they have a surplus at centre and the name that's retaining attention around the league is
Dylan Strome. There's some teams kicking tires on him and I think there's a chance that he moves here over the next week or two." LeBrun said on Tuesday's edition of Insider Trading on TSN.
He added, "The Hawks, of course, got Jonathan Toews back this year and we wish him well this year after a year off taking care of his health.
Kirby Dach is healthy, of course they traded for
Tyler Johnson from Tampa, so they got too many bodies, and so
Dylan Strome is the guy I think they've earmarked to potentially move and I think that could happen here in the short term. Remember, third overall pick in 2015, how time flies [for]
Dylan Strome."

Strome, 24, was originally selected by the Arizona Coyotes, third overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft behind his junior teammate
Connor McDavid who went first, and
Jack Eichel who was second overall.
The Mississauga, Ontario native was traded to Chicago from Arizona in 2018. In 204 career games, Strome has 122 points (45 G, 77 A), 58 penalty minutes, and is a -24.
