Apparently the Blackhawks weren't completely done dealing after all.
The Blackhawks sent forward Ben Smith and a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for center Andrew Desjardins.
Desjardins is in the final year of his current contract, which carries a $750,000 cap hit. Smith has another year left on his deal he signed this past summer ($1.75 cap hit). The move gives the Blackhawks some cap flexibility; the Sharks retain half of Desjardins’ salary in the deal.
