It’s occurred to me that I made the mistake earlier this season of never quite getting around to discuss the trade of Andrew Desjardins for Ben Smith to the San Jose Sharks. And what better time to discuss it than in hindsight when things are pretty much laid out there for us?
It would seem the answer would be an obvious and resounding “Yes” to if the Desjardins trade ended up working out for the Chicago Blackhawks, as his name is now on the Stanley Cup for the 2014-2015 season. But how much of that run can be chalked up to the acquisition of ‘Desi’ in exchange for Smith?
