The season ended for Chicago Black Hawk. They came in place 31 out of 32 with a record of 25-46-11. It was a year that did not go according to the plan in several ways.
The good news for them is that a season started with a biggest team that became smaller and smaller with a season season. There were a few NHL appearances for the first time to the highest horizons and to leave the veterans who did not want to be there.
The youth carried the flame to the finish line by the end. Saying that they ended up with a good note that will be low.
On Thursday, the team made exit interviews. General Manager Kyle Davidson, interim coach Anders Sorensen, and about ten players spoke to the media to discuss the season, their next summer, and their plans for the future.
In general, feelings were incredibly positive because they were a team that came in 31st. This reflects the strong end they had with the young talent that leads the road.
"I feel at the end of the day, I am standing here now, we feel that we are in a good place to go forward." Kyle Davidson said about his team’s condition. "I don’t know how to sit in my seat, I can’t be optimistic as we go, given what we saw in the back of the season."
Kyle Davidson wanted to explain that he loves the place where this team is now standing. He claimed that they would be more critical when choosing their next coach to drive the road in 2024-25.
Although Davidson said that the interim coach Anders Sorensen is a candidate to be the next full -time man and that they are taking into account internal and external people, but they will surely go in a different direction.
Surinsen knows the situation. Thanks to this, he hopes to wander in a role with the organization, which talks about volumes about his loyalty. He cares about these players and wants to help them succeed in any possible way.
"I am a person directed towards the team," Sornsen said on the day of the exit interview. "I want to help the organization. I want to help these young players take the next step."
One of the most interesting quotes came from this event from Sorensen’s mouth when he talked about his relationship with Connor Beddard.
“He is addicted to hockey like me," Surinsen said of his star’s player. "We see the game in similar areas. He puts his best foot forward and tries everything we talked about. He is a bright young man with a very bright future. “
You can say that the coach believes that the world of Bidard. Why shouldn’t he? He saw as much as anyone is talent and privacy. This is a player you should want Chicago to continue for a long time.
On July 1, Conor Bidard will be eligible for the extension of the contract. This will be his first unpaid contract in NHL. Despite the gossip about the universe of Beddard in Chicago, he has repeatedly made it clear that these are false allegations.
“I said it 100 times. I love it here." Bidard said when asked about playing in Chicago. "I want to be here for a long time. If you look largely on the bench, people sometimes take them out of context. People who know me know that I love to be here. “
In addition to talking about playing with Blackhawks, he talked about how things are with him and Kyle Davidson.
"I have a great relationship with Kyle and everyone," Bidard said. "I know I want to be here for a long time. “
When they work on this suspended status of the contract, both sides should be able to look at it with a long -term common goal in mind.
“He has done an incredible job in dealing with the season inside and outside the ice," Davidson said about Bidard. This was not an easy year for anyone, especially Bidard, who has a lot of pressure to lead Chicago to the promised land. When the lights come back in the fall, it is expected that Bedard will reach other equipment as many star players do in the third year.
Whether none of the above, Spencer Knight, Ryan Donato, Nick, or other players who had an exit interview, there was one common topic: the future.
With all the possibilities, draft choices, and the cover room, Blackhawks can turn this to a profitable machine soon. They seem to know this too.
