Being traded from one team to another has to be an awkward experience in any professional sports league, the NHL included. The Chicago Blackhawks have been involved in this process a lot in recent years due to salary cap constraints.
Among the guys who probably didn’t want to leave Chicago, but who didn’t have much choice in the matter, were forwards Andrew Shaw and Phillip Danault. Both were (and still are) viewed as grinder-type guys, though of different molds.
Danault was moved to the Monreal Canadiens during the 2015-16 season when the Blackhawks acquired Tomas Fleischmann and Dale Weise for a playoff push.
