We have a trade to announce.

To Chicago:

F Derek Ryan
F Jussi Jokinen
F Adam Cracknell
D Nick Holden
$6.75 million

To NYI:

F Frank Vatrano
D Dmitri Samorukov
2019 2nd-round pick
2019 3rd-round pick
2018 5th-round pick

We clear up some desperately needed roster spots and save $2 million while getting some potentially-useful picks. Holden's an okay player but we feel like he's probably pretty replaceable -- and we weren't going to re-sign him. All three of the NHL guys we dealt are UFAs. Vatrano's an interesting project and Samorukov was a third-rounder in the NHL this past year. We feel like we get pretty good value here.

Thanks to Tilley for the deal.
