Blackhawks Make Surprise Move in Wake of Corey Perry's Contract Termination
The Chicago Blackhawks faced some tough blows recently, with Corey Perry's contract terminated and Taylor Hall's season cut short due to knee surgery. Adapting to the setbacks, the Blackhawks didn't waste time finding solutions.
Just before tonight's game, the Chicago Blackhawks and the Vancouver Canucks struck a deal. In exchange for a fifth-round pick, the Blackhawks welcomed Anthony Beauvillier from the Canucks.
Drafted in the first round in 2015, Beauvillier brings a wealth of experience, having played 22 games this season, notching two goals, six assists, and a solid +8 plus/minus rating. With nine years in the NHL under his belt, he's recognized for his goal-scoring prowess, making him a valuable addition to the Blackhawks.
This trade is a significant move, introducing a skilled Canadian forward to the lineup. Paired with Connor Bedard, another Canadian player, it enhances the team's scoring capabilities.
Beauvillier carries a $4.15 million cap hit and will become a free agent this summer, making this a short-term deal for the Blackhawks. Despite the challenges, this trade positions the team well for the upcoming games.
