The Chicago Blackhawks are sending Max Domi and goaltender Dylan Wells to the Dallas Stars for a second-round pick and netminder Anton Khudobin, reports Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.
Domi is a pending unrestricted free agent. The forward, who turned 28 on Thursday, will be joining his sixth NHL club. He's in his eighth season and was in his first with the Blackhawks. Chicago is reportedly not retaining any of his $3-million cap hit.
Domi has 18 goals and 31 assists in 60 games this season. He can play at center or on the wing and has a career-best success rate of 53.7% on faceoffs in 2022-23.
Wells played his lone NHL game in November and has spent the rest of the campaign with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs. The 25-year-old went 9-6-1 with a .905 save percentage in 17 contests with the farm club this season.
Khudobin hasn't played at all this season and only played nine games in 2021-22 due to hip issues. The Stars buried his contract in the minors and were on the hook for approximately $2.2 million of his $3.3-million cap hit as a result, according to CapFriendly. The veteran puck-stopper, who's a pending UFA, will turn 37 in May.
