It’s hard to figure out where Dylan Sikura’s career goes from here.
Is he worthy of a bottom six role at the NHL level? Or is he more of a top-line AHL player? If he’s given a longer leash than he was in Chicago, can he reach the potential he flashed during dazzling college seasons at Northeastern?
Those questions won’t be answered in Chicago, though, after Sikura was traded to the Golden Knights for old friend — and a former Blackhawks prospect himself — Brandon Pirri.
In a vacuum, the Sikura trade is mostly a blip on the radar.
