The Chicago Blackhawks appear to be moving on from forward Dylan Strome as he was once against held out from the regular rushes at practice. Strome will be a healthy scratch in the Blackhawks next matchup and could soon be dealt.

A number of hockey's best insiders have confirmed the team is receiving a ton of trade calls and making their own as well. Strome was once a top-three draft pick who had a fantastic season in his first with the Blackhawks back in 2018-19 when he put up 51 points in 58 games. His production has slipped since, only registering 55 points in 98 games since. He has yet to appear in a game this season.

3 Teams Who Could Trade for Strome

Buffalo Sabres: The Sabres are an obvious choice because of the fact they could use Strome immediately and give the 24-year-old a ton of ice-time and an opportunity to compete for a top-six role. He's under contract for this season, making $3 million and this is something the Sabres could easily handle under their cap.

Multiple NHL insiders reporting today that the Blackhawks are, unsurprisingly, looking into trading Dylan Strome.

Minnesota Wild: The Wild and Blackhawks completing a deal seems unlikely, but there's certainly a need there for Minny. They have been trying to get their hands on another center and Strome could fit in nicely with their group. Expect the Blackhawks to want a top-20 type prospect in return in any deal.

Anaheim Ducks: The Ducks are in the market for another center and Strome is a name that could make sense for their hockey club. He'd be given a much bigger role for the Ducks and would a deal for someone like Josh Manson make sense for both clubs?
