The Florida Panthers traded forwards Brett Connolly and Henrik Borgstrom, defenseman Riley Stillman, and a seventh-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for forward Lucas Wallmark and blue-liner Lucas Carlsson, reports TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Connolly, 28, has produced just two goals and two assists in 21 games this season. He's signed through 2022-23 with a cap hit of $3.5 million per season, per CapFriendly, which now gives Florida additional space ahead of the deadline.
In exchange for taking on the contract, Chicago receives Borgstrom, the 23rd overall pick in 2016; Stillman, a 23-year-old defenseman; and the draft pick.
Wallmark, 25, has served as a fourth-line center for most of his career. He spent a seven-game stint with the Panthers last season after coming over from the Carolina Hurricanes in the Vincent Trocheck trade.
