Blackhawks' Jiri Sekac: Dealt to Chicago

Sekac has been traded to Chicago by the Ducks in exchange for Ryan Garbutt, Tracey Myers of CSN Chicago reports.

This move gives the Blackhawks both roster and salary flexibility, as Sekac is on a two-way contract worth $925,000 with just one year remaining, as noted by the Chicago Tribune. Sekac is known as a versatile forward, but has just three points in 22 games this season. The 'Hawks have plenty of talented forwards, so Sekac will likely either slot into a bottom-six role or get a ticket to the AHL.
