The Chicago Blackhawks are currently benefiting from solid goaltending by Petr Mrazek and Arvid Soderblom, with Laurent Brossoit nearing a return from injury. The team faces a decision regarding their goalie situation as Soderblom approaches waiver eligibility.
Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes are actively seeking a goalie due to injuries to Pyotr Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen. With a strong season record, Carolina is unlikely to remain passive in their search for a goaltender, potentially opening up trade discussions with Chicago.
As the Blackhawks consider their options, they could leverage their goalies to acquire prospects or draft picks, especially with Carolina's willingness to trade assets to maintain their competitive edge.
