The Blackhawks accomplished their goal of moving Trevor Daley, but took on another question mark in the process.
The Blackhawks traded defenseman Trevor Daley to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night, getting defenseman Rob Scuderi in return. Rumors had been swirling about GM Stan Bowman's efforts to move Daley for some time now, though the Penguins were not one of the teams rumored to be interested. After rumors had died down recently, the trade came as a bit of a surprise.
Though the blue liners haven't exactly struggled this season, the performance has been lackluster and frustrating at times.
