In what appears to be the Blackhawks’ fourth and final trade of the day, defenseman Madison Bowey has been traded to the Canucks along with a fifth-round pick in exchange for a fourth-round pick, according to a report from Sportsnet’s Dan Murphy:
The move is of little consequence to the Blackhawks current situation, as Bowey had appeared in just two games this season with one assist. The move also keeps the Hawks at nine picks in the 2021 NHL Draft while jumping up one round.
Perhaps the bigger implication here involves the upcoming expansion draft for the Seattle Kraken.
