The Chicago Blackhawks have traded Patrick Sharp and Stephen Johns to the Dallas Stars for Trevor Daley and Ryan Garbutt.
The 33-year old Sharp was drafted 95th overall in the 3rd round of the 2001 draft by the Flyers. He carries a $5.9 million cap hit for another two years.
The 23-year old Johns was drafted 60th overall in the 2nd round of the 2010 draft by the Blackhawks. He carries a $800,000 cap if he’s in the NHL.
The 31-year old Daley was drafted 43rd overall in the 2nd round of the 2001 draft by the Stars. He carries a $3.3 million cap hit for another two years.
The 29-year old Garbutt was undrafted. He carries a $1.8 million cap hit for another two years.
Chris Kuc: The Stars are retaining 50 percent of Garbutt’s salary, so he’ll only count as $900,000 against the Blackhawks cap.
The Blackhawks end up saving $1.7 million in cap space.
