Blackhawks Trade Deadline Recap

Friday, the Hawks picked up defenseman Kimmo Timonen from the Flyers for draft picks; I went into detail on that trade here.

Saturday, the Hawks acquired forward Antoine Vermette, who will wear number 80, from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a first-round draft pick this year and AHL defenseman Klas Dahlbeck. I feel like the Hawks gave up kind of a lot to make the deal, but they definitely needed a top-6 forward with Kane out for the rest of the regular season and part of the playoffs. Also, going forward, the Hawks still have Stephen Johns and Ville Pokka in Rockford, and, while I liked Dahlbeck, I like both Johns and Pokka more. They’ve also got Gustav Forsling in Sweden.

Today, the Hawks traded forward Ben Smith and a conditional seventh-round draft pick to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for forward Andrew Desjardins, who will wear number 11. I liked Ben Smith; he played well and showed a lot of potential during the playoffs last year. But this year, Smith really didn’t do all that much; he was kind of just there.

Overall, I think the Hawks did a good job of putting together a team to win now, without giving up too many prospects. Losing the first-round pick this year hurts a little, since this is a pretty deep draft class, but again, I think it was worth it. I would have liked to see Teräväinen stay at center, but that seems unlikely with the acquisition of Vermette. Even if he doesn’t see time at center, I think he should definitely stay in the NHL, because the team needs all the offensive help they can get with Kaner on LTIR.

My best attempt at a line chart, which could very well be different from what Q does:

Forwards:

20-19-81

23-80-10

65-91-86

29-16-11

Defense:

2-7

44-4

27-5/32/57 (when healthy)
