Blackhawks to receive 2019 fourth-round pick from Bruins for Tommy Wingels trade

The Chicago Blackhawks will have nine draft picks in the 2019 NHL draft, including two fourth-round selections.

Chicago acquired their ninth pick in a February trade with the Boston Bruins in exchange for forward Tommy Wingels. The pick was originally a fifth-round selection, but turned into a fourth-round one when the Bruins defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 on Wednesday to advance to the second round of the playoffs. Wingels also had to play in at least one playoff game. He played in three in the first round.
