The Blackhawks traded forward Dylan Sikura to the Golden Knights in order to re-acquire forward Brandon Pirri on Monday.
Sikura, a 2014 sixth-round pick, split the past two seasons between the NHL and AHL after his college career at Northeastern, where he was a top-10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Award. The 25-year-old had 14 points (one goal, 13 assists) in 47 NHL games and 68 points (31 goals, 37 assists) in 91 games for the Rockford IceHogs, but struggled to solidify a full-time spot in the NHL.
The 29-year-old Pirri split this past season between Vegas and the Chicago Wolves of the AHL.
