Chicago Blackhawks Trade Erik Gustafsson to the Calgary Flames

It was a long time coming but the Chicago Blackhawks have traded offensive defenseman Erik Gustafsson to the Calgary Flames for a third-round pick in 2020. The see-saw of where Gustafsson would be shipped off to has been going back and forth since he was scratched for asset management purposes.

Stan Bowman did the right thing in moving on from Gustafsson who has been such a confusing player during his Blackhawks tenure.

At times looking like one of the best offensive defensemen in the NHL and at other times, most of the time in his own end, just completely lost on the ice.
