Back on December 14, the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins made a trade to swap blue-liners Trevor Daley and Rob Scuderi. The Penguins ended up retaining one-third of Scuderi’s $3.375 million cap hit and saved the Blackhawks about $1 million in salary cap room. That’s about it.
Scuderi’s on-ice impact
Since the trade, Scuderi has appeared in nine games for Chicago with zero points, a minus-1 rating, eight shots on net, and is averaging about 11:28 of ice-time per game. Not mentioning, Scuderi has been a healthy scratch four times since joining the team in December.
