The Chicago Blackhawks would like to announce the following trade:
After much deliberation:
To CHI:
Carolina Hurricanes 9th round expansion pick (acquired from previous trade)
To PAT:
Buffalo Sabres 11th round expansion pick (acquired from previous trade) Buffalo's 2015/2016 2nd round pick
Chicago's 2016/2017 1st round pick
After being out of two back to back rounds (5 and 6) I could not afford to be out of a third round this early (my 9th round pick was traded to Buffalo) thus why I paid a price to move up. Despite having had two picks in each of the 10th and 11th rounds, the waiting gap between picks is too large and risky for me to hope for valuable names to still be there. Considering the latest run on defensemen in particular, I could not risk missing out on any other dependable names as they are flying off the board like bras at Mardi Gras. By offering my late 11th round pick (second to last pick in the round) I had to up the pot by adding the prospect picks. Having a lot already invested in core of young, talented and good looking players that are still on their primary or secondary year of their ELCs, I feel the need to focus on getting more NHL experience to lead by example -- so dishing out some higher prospect picks is not an issue.
St. Pats to confirm (he is out for a bit but will confirm later today).

St. Pats confirm the trade.
Given that some of the individuals that we were targeting with that 9th round selection already got chosen, we feel that in the field that is left, no one is head and shoulders above the rest. Hence were of a belief that even with trading down to 11th round, there will still be players of interest for us so we couldn't pass on the opportunity to further strengthen our position for the future of this organisation.

Solid hall for the 9th pick for St Pats. CHI gets a pick after missing a couple rounds.

Slight overpayment by CHI, but who am I to say that? ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Approved (3-0)

Approved (4-0)
Both teams get what they're looking for, and the picks being exchanged seem like a fair price
