Elliotte Friedman Hints at Major Off-Season Move for the Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks were just involved in a massive blockbuster trade between the Avalanche and the Hurricanes, and Elliotte Friedman hinted they may not be done.
The Carolina Hurricanes executed a blockbuster trade, getting superstar Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche and Taylor Hall of the Chicago Blackhawks. As an added bonus, they gained the rights to forward Nils Juntorp.
The Avalanche, in return, acquired forwards Martin Necas and Jack Drury, a 2025 NHL second-round selection, and a 2026 fourth-round selection from Carolina.
The Blackhawks, in a somewhat surprising move, received a 2025 third-round selection that was initially theirs.
Elliotte Friedman links the Blackhawks to an offer sheet
That selection could become important, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet surmised, in case of an impending offer sheet submission by Chicago. The Blackhawks retained 50 percent of Rantanen's $9.25 million salary cap hit in terms of the agreement, too.
The agreement was confirmed following a series of reports from high-profile insiders.
Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff initially broke the report of getting Rantanen to Carolina, and Pierre LeBrun of TSN first mentioned a three-team agreement and included Hall's presence in the deal and a third-rounder going to the Blackhawks.
Arthur Staple of the Athletic and Sara Civian of Bleacher Report included Necas in the trade going to Colorado.
