The Chicago Blackhawks announced Thursday night that they had acquired Versteeg and forward Philippe Lefebrvre from the Florida Panthers in exchange for forward Jimmy Hayes and defenceman Dylan Olsen.

The Panthers will retain half of Versteeg's salary as part of the trade; about $2.2 million for the next three seasons.

Florida either really wanted to be rid of Versteeg or the really wanted Hayes/Olsen.

Does Tallon know how to make trades that don't involve either his former team or former players?

Highway robbery.

Makes sense for both sides. Both could modestly benefit from the trade.

What's old is new again.

Jimmy Hayes, wasnt he the old Joe Colbourne?

I think the former. Versteeg was playing like poop.
