The Blackhawks acquired Josh Bailey from the Islanders and Corey Perry from the Lightning, who signed a one-year deal with Chicago on Friday.
Then, of course, on Wednesday they drafted Bedard with the No. 1 pick.
Last season was a challenging one for Bailey. He finished with eight goals and 25 points in 64 games. That average of 0.39 points per game was a decline from his career mark of about 0.55. It was the fourth time Bailey has scored fewer than 10 goals in a season since his career started in the 2008-09 season.Copyright © 2023 ESPN Internet Ventures. All rights reserved.
