I know a lot of Blackhawk fans will get triggered over this (especially SociallyHawkward) but please hear me out on this and read this thoroughly before spamming the comments.

There's no doubt the Hawks were the NHL's dynasty in the 2010's winning three cups which was the result of a well thought and planned out 15 year rebuild and smart drafting. However the last few years, it's become very clear this core's Cup winning window is closing and it's time for a rebuild. Bowman is still one of the smartest GM's in the business and I'm sure he knows that he'll eventually have to start over and focus more on developing his younger core even at the cost of the Hawks being out of the playoffs for a year or two. The future is bright for this young Hawks team but keeping Toews and Kane around even as mentors wouldn't make any sense as both are in their prime and could easily help a Cup contending team get to the next level given their skill and leadership that won them three Cups in Chicago. Bowman will easily get huge returns for both and the Hawks will easily be a consistent playoff team for years to come.
