The Chicago Blackhawks continued making moves on Thursday night, sending a second-round pick (No. 38 overall) pick to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for goaltender Petr Mrazek and a first-round pick (No. 25 overall).
This trade had been speculated for weeks, with the Maple Leafs needing to shed salary cap space and the Blackhawks, prior to this trade, not having an NHL goaltender under contract for next season. Mrazek just finished the first season of a three-year deal worth $3.8 million annually that was signed on July 28, 2021.
