CHICAGO -- Things didn't work out the way the Chicago Blackhawks hoped with defenseman Trevor Daley, so they did something about it.
The Blackhawks completed a trade Monday that sent Daley, 32, to the Pittsburgh Penguins, brought veteran defenseman Rob Scuderi to Chicago, and freed up a little more than $1 million under the NHL salary cap of $71.4 million.
Pittsburgh will retain 33 percent of Scuderi's reported $3 million cap charge, according to Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford. Daley has a reported charge of $3.3 million a season.
