CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks took another step toward hiring a new general manager Wednesday, announcing plans to begin interviewing candidates this week and to have the new personnel boss in place before the March 21 trade deadline.
The Hawks also said they will host a town hall for fans and media next Wednesday to address questions about the direction of the franchise.
CEO Danny Wirtz said in a team statement that he’ll lead an advisory committee that will interview prospective candidates to replace Stan Bowman, who resigned from his roles of president of hockey operations and GM in the wake of the Brad Aldrich scandal.
