Chicago Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson speaks with the media for the first time following adding several players through NHL Free Agency. How big of an impact did Nick Foligno have in recruiting players to Chicago? And how long until we see Artyom Levshunov on the team? Davidson answers our burning questions.

It's fascinating to witness the evolution of ideas unfolding in real-time.🌺
It would really be helpful if Rychal finds his game. We need some help on the 2nd line. Otherwise we will be forced to play bottom 6 guys there. Nazar hopefully takes a job later in the year and our top 6 looks much better. Staying healthy will help also
Yet you didn’t follow Dallas’s developmental path with Korchinski. It sounds like you don’t want to follow that path with Levshunov either. Mark Eaton sounded like someone who doesn’t want him going back to Michigan State. That would be another mistake IMO.
I like so far what Kyle has done the Hawks should be better this year still a few years away from making playoff noise but the games should look much better this year !!!
I like the two Kyles. I think the coach will have to be tougher this year, but that will come. It's time to expect the million-dollar salaries to be worth it.
Key words … we want to have players who will elevate their play and sustain it.
Be tough on them, Kyle, but always fair. They need to have better stamina and drive, and they need to be a team, and not individuals.
A team like Florida, not individuals like Edmonton.
Kyle is not proven he can build a championship team. Time will tell.
Hockey hell. Great. Tyler 4 years? Bad contract. Theres a tape out there that shows highlights how bad Levshunov is. Don't mind Tuevo. But why sign crap D men. Don't care. I don't like this. What a large Taxi squad?. Hall we be back. And the Vancouver trade was good. You blew the draft. Prove me wrong pleses. Kourchinski plays like he afraid to possess the puck to long. He needs Rockford.
Give the C to Bedard. This year. He deserves it for what he has done and will do.
I don’t like the defense free agents. Let the young players develop in the big leagues. I don’t care about Martinez or Brodie.
Korchinski played well. He looked tired at the end of the season but so did Bedard.
Kaiser and Korchinski should be in the NHL.
4 years for Bertuzzi was too long. I want to see the young players step up.
I haven’t liked Kyle from day 1 bc of how he’s slammed the door on Kane and Toews, but outside of that, i thought he made decent moves and his reasoning was usually sound. This is the first time I’ve questioned some of it and seen some wavering or trying to explain away questionable decisions.
You shouldn’t be happy about where your forward group is at if you don’t get another top pick forward. Levshunov was a terrible pick, I’m sorry…I don’t hate the kid, I’m sure he’ll be a fine player…not #2 overall. I could see taking Demidov at 2 and trying to trade up to 4 for Levshunov? But you need a 1-2 punch scoring option that you drafted yourself, it’s how championship teams are traditionally built. Sure, there are floridas, and Vegas…but they don’t have a Connor Bedard. A guy like Bedard, like Kane, like Crosby…needs a Toews, a Malkin…Batman and Robin. McDavid and Draisaitl, Stamkos and Kucherov, Bergeron and Marchand…etc. Maybe we have that guy in the system already, I just don’t see it. You hope to never be at 2 again and the way you signed players, you won’t be…you CANT pass up a skill player like that 🤦♂️ I really hope I’m wrong
It's crazy that people are hating on 1-3 year long contacts. Have to get the youth to develop. The growth will be amazing for this squad
Looking forward to seeing Ollie someday. And Nazar. And Slaggart reminds me of Hagel.
This is all going to take years. People need to see the long term. Stop being a hater. Glad we dropped alot of dead weight this summer.
