Chicago Blackhawks Aggressively Shopping Veteran After Spencer Knight Acquisition

After a poor start to the 2024/25 season, the expectation was that the Chicago Blackhawks would be sellers at the trade deadline, and they started that over the weekend by moving Seth Jones to the Florida Panthers in a blockbuster deal.

Given the current direction of the Blackhawks franchise, there's no doubting that they'll continue to be sellers over the next few days, and now top NHL Insider Frank Seravalli has identified Petr Mrazek as a player they are 'shopping aggressively'.

That comes after Spencer Knight was involved in the Jones deal, and following his debut in which he stopped 41 saves for the victory, it became clear that he is the No. 1 goaltender in Chicago with a very bright future ahead.

With the team looking to get any assets to continue their rebuild, moving Mrazek in a light goaltender market is the way to go, with teams like Carolina and Edmonton two Stanley Cup Playoff teams that could use the help, and with Mrazek having over 400 games under his belt, that experience will be a major factor in a team looking to acquire him.

In 33 games this season, Mrazek has a save percentage of .890 alongside a 3.46 GAA, so there won't be teams lined up out there to make him their starter, but with teams having Stanley Cup dreams and needing quality backup goaltending, there's certainly a market for him, so keep a very close eye on Mrazek and the Blackhawks over the next 48 hours.
