SCUDERI TO LA. WHAT.
The Chicago Blackhawks are close to a deal that will send defenseman Rob Scuderi to the Los Angeles Kings for defenseman Christian Ehrhoff, according to reports. TSN's Bob McKenzie reports the "pending" deal may not be officially done until later Friday but "it should get done."
Both players recently cleared waivers and now will see changes of scenery as part of a swap between Western Conference contenders. McKenzie says salary retention could be involved, but either way, this sounds like a plus move for Chicago.
