The Hawks received a 2024 fifth-round pick for Carpenter but seemingly could’ve gotten more future assets to jump-start the rebuild Monday.

CHICAGO — If the Chicago Blackhawks’ 6-4 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday night was Marc-André Fleury’s last game for the team, it was a bit of a letdown.

"Imagine if he puts on 10 pounds," Brandon Hagel said about the Blackhawks’ top prospect. "It’s going to be crazy. I’m excited to see where he is in a year."

Kane and Hagel became the first Hawks to post hat tricks in the same game since Eric Daze and Steve Sullivan in 2003.

Brandon Hagel shoots straight — and not just on the ice.

It’s still unlikely the Hawks trade Hagel, but he’s not hiding from the chatter in the meantime: "Seeing what they [reportedly] want for me, you’ve got to take it as a compliment."

The trio of Brandon Hagel, Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat "didn’t really work" in King’s eyes, but it could foreshadow more outside-the-box lines to come.
