Blackhawks to go big in free agency

09:02 AM ET 06.30 | What else were Joel Quenneville and Jonathan Toews going to say? Asked if the Blackhawks could contend for the Stanley Cup with their current roster, the coach and captain were on the same page. "I think so," Toews said before highlighting the performances of some of the Hawks young players. "Absolutely," Quenneville said before doing the same. General manager Stan Bowman made similar comments not long before them. But don't be fooled. Changes are coming. Bowman has been saying for weeks that he won't hesitate to trade anyone on his team - other than his key stalwarts - and that he's ready to be active when free agency begins Sunday and during the expected trade frenzy. He's feeling some heat to get the job done after the Hawks fell short of regular-season expectations the last two years and then were knocked out in consecutive first rounds of the playoffs.

Only from October (season start) to November (season realistically ends for the Leafs). You knew that.
