Chicago Blackhawks News
The Golden Knights have signed Laurent Brossoit to a two-year contract worth $4.65 million ($2.325M AAV).
The Golden Knights have signed Alec Martinez to a three-year contract extension worth $15.75 million ($5.25M AAV).
The Blackhawks have acquired Seth Jones, the No.32 overall pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick from the Blue Jackets for Adam Boqvist, the No.12 overall pick, a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick.
Jones has one year left on his deal that carries a $5.4M cap-hit but was due for a raise and made it clear he wasn't interested in returning to Columbus. Jones had a modified no-trade clause so he was interested in joining the Blackhawks and received a massive eight-year extension immediately following the trade. Jones' offensive numbers have been trending towards in the last two seasons and he has many detractors, especially in the analytics community, so this will definitely be a deal worth monitoring for the future.
The Canucks have acquired Jason Dickinson from the Stars for a 3rd round pick.
Dickinson is a pending RFA and the Stars were likely worried about losing him for nothing in the Expansion Draft, so they get a third-round pick in return by sending him to Vancouver. Dickinson has averaged 10 goals and 16 assists (26 points) per 82-games over the last three seasons. The Canucks have protected Dickinson in the Expansion Draft.
The Blackhawks have signed Jakub Pour to a two-year, entry-level contract.
The Blackhawks have signed Lukas Reichel to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Reichel was selected No.17 overall in 2020 and made another splash in the DEL in 2021, finishing fifth on the team with 27 points (10G / 17A) in 38 games. That's a terrific showing for a 19-year-old, who also had five points (3G / 2A) in seven games while representing Germany at the World Juniors. Reichel has a chance to break into the NHL in the 2021-22 season.

Foligno (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 4.
Foligno was a scratch in Game 3 vs. the Canadiens but could return to the lineup on Tuesday. Head coach Sheldon Keefe called Foligno a game-time decision, so monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 PM ET.
Martinez (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Game 1 vs. Minnesota.
Martinez is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Wednesday.
Foligno (upper-body) is expected to play on Wednesday.
Foligno has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is expected to play in Ottawa on Wednesday. Foligno was originally listed as a game-time decision on Tuesday but reportedly responded well after yesterday's practice. He skated with John Tavares and William Nylander in practice but has played primarily with Auston Matthew and Mitch Marner to this point, so it's unclear who he will skate with tonight.
