The Chicago Blackhawks made another trade involving prospects on Wednesday morning, sending forward Evan Barratt to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Cooper Zech.
The move comes about an hour after former first-round pick Nicolas Beaudin was sent to the Montreal Canadiens for Cameron Hillis.
Zech, who’ll turn 24 in December, is a 5-foot-10, 175-pound defenseman who went undrafted but signed an entry-level contract with the Flyers on July 28, 2021. He spent all of last season in the AHL with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, scoring one goal with 10 assists.
