The Chicago Blackhawks' affiliate team, the Indy Fuel, has completed a trade for a prospect.
The ECHL affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, the Indy Fuel, has completed a trade today.
The team has traded forward Cody Laskosky from the Tahoe Knight Monsters after he played only 11 games for the team in his ECHL debut this year, scoring 6 points (3-3).
The 5-foot-11 forward, who weighs 180 pounds and has played a total of 13 games to begin his professional hockey career in the ECHL.
Now, he'll join the Indy Fuel in the ECHL, two steps below his NHL dreams. The 26-year-old forward spent the 2024-25 season with the University of Wisconsin Badgers, where he scored 11 points in 27 games.
Before he played collegiate hockey, he played four years at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where he was a college champion (ACHA).
Laskosky played 5 years in the NCAA and scored 95 points (39-56).
The Camrose, Alberta native spent five years in the AJHL (Alberta Junior Hockey League) before his collegiate career.
The Chicago Blackhawks Add Cody Laskosky to their minor league pipeline
Laskosky was an undrafted forward who has worked his way through the ranks of the ECHL, and in return for Laskosky, the Tahoe Knight Monsters will receive future considerations.
The right-wing Alberta-born forward hasn't given up on his dreams yet.
He inked his first professional hockey deal with the Tahoe Knight Monsters, an affiliate of the Vegas Golden Knights, on August 15th.
No word on the official AAV regarding his contract, but the ECHL website gives us an idea of what Laskosky will be paid:
Teams are required in 2024-25 to pay rookie players a minimum salary of $530 per week and returning players a minimum salary of $575 per week. A returning player is classified as a player who appeared on a team's season-ending or playoff roster or who has played in 25 or more professional hockey games.
