The Chicago Blackhawks traded forwards Ryan Hartman and Tommy Wingels before the NHL trade deadline Monday.
Hartman was sent to Nashville for forward Victor Ejdsell, a 2018 first-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick, while Wingels was sent to Boston for a 2019 conditional fifth-round pick. The draft pick from Boston moves up to the fourth round if the Bruins reach the second round of the 2018 playoffs or Wingels re-signs in Boston this offseason.
