The Chicago Blackhawks have acquired forward Jiri Sekac from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Ryan Garbutt, the team announced Thursday. It's the third trade that GM Stan Bowman has made during this busy season.
Sekac, 23, is a skilled young winger who has played for the Ducks and Canadiens during his two-year NHL career. Montreal traded Sekac to Anaheim last year in a deal for Devante Smith-Pelly. The forward is currently on a one-year contract with a $925,000 cap hit before hitting restricted free agency in the offseason.
