Every NHL franchise will have that one player they wish they never acquired the previous offseason, and the Blackhawks are no different.

Andreas Athanasiou has struggled to find a spot in the lineup.

Connor Bedard has struggled to score goals so far this season. Should Chicago Blackhawks fans feel concerned?

Neither Teuvo Teravainen nor Tyler Bertuzzi, the free agents the Hawks signed to insulate and complement Bedard, has clicked with the 19-year-old center, who has fallen into a slump.

The Chicago Blackhawks waived the veteran forward. Andreas Athanasiou is not likely to get claimed since his AAV is too high relative to his production.

This week, we learned that the netminder’s timeline is being delayed once again, and this extension could be even more disappointing.
