The Chicago Blackhawks have had an interesting start to their rebuild to say the least, and trading Kirby Dach was one of the questionable decisions made.

Recently, TSN's Marco D'Amico interviewed former Blackhawks general manager Scott Bowman, and asked him why the team traded the young forward.

"We spoke to Scotty Bowman earlier this year and he told us the biggest problem with Dach is faceoffs and wasn't fitting with what they wanted to do (Identity wise)...

But, I don't think people understand the degree at which Chicago wants to burn it to the ground."

Dach is still a super young player with loads of potential, so it is somewhat surprising that the Hawks gave up on him so quick, but if the team is looking for a full reset, anyone can be on the chopping block.
