Potential Pieces the Blackhawks Could Trade On Draft Day
Unless you are living under a rock, you probably know the Chicago Blackhawks will be drafting 3rd overall at the NHL Draft today.
With all the speculation going into who Chicago will pick, I think we all need to look to the past to see what might happen on Friday.
The Blackhawks have not had a blockbuster trade day since the 2017 NHL Draft. Chicago sent NHL superstar Artemi Panarin to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Brandon Saad, who won 2 Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks.
The ‘Hawks did not end the day with just one trade. They also sent Niklas Hjalmarsson to the Arizona Coyotes for Connor Murphy, a young defenseman who could hopefully progress into a top defender in Chicago.
