On Friday, the Carolina Hurricanes acquired forward Kris Versteeg and Joakim Nordstrom, along with a 2017 3rd round pick, from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Jake Massie, Dennis Robertson, and a 2017 5th round pick.
The trade, on the surface, was an absolute steal for the Carolina Hurricanes. The added two NHL forwards and a top-90 pick in 2017, and they lost two low-grade defensive prospects and a late-round pick in the same draft as their acquired 3rd rounder. The trade served as a salary cap dump of sorts for the reigning Stanley Cup Champions.
