Blackhawks: Grading The First Trade Of The Offseason

The Chicago Blackhawks made an interesting move today that caught fans off guard when they traded Dylan Sikura to Vegas for Brandon Pirri. This is another Blackhawks trade where they get an old player from the team years ago, which hasn’t worked in the past at all.

Being optimistic about the trade is one thing, being blinded by the fact that Pirri played just 16-games last year and thinking he will be in the NHL for long next year is another.

This is a trade that doesn’t make much sense. They’re adding a little bit of money to the salary cap and they’re adding age.
