When the Chicago Blackhawks made a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs in January and acquired Richard Panik for Jeremy Morin, it was a swap of two AHL players trying to make big enough impacts to get NHL gigs. For Morin, he was never going to break through the Blackhawks’ forward ranks enough to get that chance, and for Panik, it was a second chance to show that he could perform on the biggest stage after failing to crack the Maple Leafs roster in 2015-16 after 76 games and 17 points (11 goals, 6 assists) in 2014-15.
