Chicago - Montreal

[Vik (Habs)]

To Chicago Blackhawks:
D Matt Niskanen (70)

To Montreal Canadiens:
R Ben Eager (76)
L Joni Nikko (45)
2016 CHI 3rd round pick


With the Bieksa signing, Steve Santini was on the outside looking in and I wanted to get him some development time so decided to make Niskanen expendable. Eager's just a goon but that suits me fine. If Nikko boosts, he's interesting. If not, he isn't signed so nothing to really worry about. And the 3rd next year helps with my lack of picks (seems like the former GM wasn't a fan of holding on to them).

Thanks to Seb for the deal. Good luck with Niskanen.

I upgrade my D-line with Niskanen.
Eager had no playing time at all on my team.

Thanks Vik
