CHICAGO — Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said he gave team leaders Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews a heads up about some “real tough decisions,” though he didn’t give them foreknowledge about the details of the moves he was planning.
“It wasn’t specific about, ‘We’re going to do this,’ it was more in general that there are probably some real tough decisions that are going to have to be made,” Davidson told reporters Thursday at Fifth Third Arena. “You don’t know what you’re actually going to do, so you can’t necessarily say we’re going to telegraph it, because who knows if anything comes to fruition.
“But we knew there were some difficult decisions to come this summer, and we definitely put that in their court. So, it’s something they were aware could potentially happen, but not from a specific standpoint.”
