State of the teamChicago's rebuild inched forward — an 11-point gain — but the Blackhawks missed the playoffs for a sixth straight year. Connor Bedard led the team in scoring as the young core took another step, and the Hawks again sold veterans at the deadline. Coach Jeff Blashill's group remains years from contention, but the arrow, for once, is pointing up. Chicago spent big twice in July, signing Connor Bedard to a five-year, $75 million extension and bringing Patrick Kane home on a two-year, $16 million deal. The bigger gamble was Bowen Byram, acquired from Buffalo for the No. 4 pick and signed for six years at $12.5 million a season — the offseason's most disputed contract. Bedard then hurt his shoulder and is expected out until November. The new season starts tracking here at puck drop.
