Blackhawks: Reacting to the Tyler Johnson trade with Tampa Bay

The Chicago Blackhawks traded for a two-time Stanley Cup Champion and a second-round draft pick, and what did they give up to get that? Brent Seabrook.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been making some sneaky moves the past week, but honestly, the weirdest one in my opinion was this deal with the Lightning. I understand why the Tampa Bay Lightning were willing to get this trade done, and if you are the Blackhawks you would do it in a heartbeat.

Tampa Bay needed to move a contract, and Tyler Johnson was the best player available to move.
