The Chicago Blackhawks traded for Spencer Knight and a first-round pick last March, when the team sent Seth Jones to the Florida Panthers.

For the Blackhawks, trading away Jones was the turning of the page on an underwhelming era in team history. Jones, now a Stanley Cup Champion, never left his mark in Chicago and the team going into a full rebuild right as his contract started didn't help.
