The Edmonton Oilers traded forward Drake Caggiula and defenseman Jason Garrison to the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday in exchange for defensemen Brandon Manning and Robin Norell, the team announced.
Caggiula, a speedy, undrafted forward, is on pace for a career season. The 24-year-old has seven goals and 11 points in 29 games with the Oilers, which included a brief stint on the club's top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Manning is the centerpiece of the return. He's been considered a villain of sorts in Edmonton, as he was responsible for McDavid missing nearly half of his rookie campaign with a broken collarbone. The 28-year-old blue-liner had three points in 27 games with the Blackhawks after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Garrison, a veteran defenseman, skated in 17 games with the Oilers this year, recording one point.
Norell, a fourth-round pick of the Blackhawks in 2013, recorded three points in 37 games in Sweden this season.
