Chicago Blackhawks and Utah Hockey Club Complete Last-Minute NHL Trade Deadline Trade
Chicago Blackhawks and Utah Hockey Club complete last-second submission for a trade deadline deal at 3:00 p.m and the NHL approves it, involving a $110M defenseman
The Chicago Blackhawks traded away Seth Jones, a horrible contract, but have now acquired the worst one in hockey.
Kyle Davidson is acquiring a players contract that has not put on a pair of hockey skates since the 2020 NHL season, with the Montreal Canadiens.
This is strictly asset management for the Chicago Blackhawks, but it is not adding up to the teams plans.
Kyle Davidson managed to pull off a miracle by moving Seth Jones' $9.5M annual salary, and have now acquired defenseman Shea Weber's deal, who signed a $110M deal in 2013.
He carries a cap hit of $7,857,143 per season until 2026.
