The Blackhawks have recalled Ryan Hartman from Rockford (AHL).

Hartman, 20, was the Blackhawks first round pick (30th overall) in 2013. The young bluliner has eight goals and 10 assists (18 points) in 47 games in his first full season with Rockford. The Blackhawks have a pretty veteran D-corp, but he could slide in for David Rundblad sometime in the near future.

The Jets have reportedly traded Zach Bogosian, Evander Kane, and Jason Kasdorf to the Sabres for Tyler Myers, Drew Stafford, Joel Armia, Brendan Lemieux and a 1st round pick.

Bogosian, 24, was the third overall pick in 2008, but has had a hard time staying healthy early in his career. Bogosian has mixed 15 games this season and a total of 74 games (27.6% of games) since 2011-12. Injuries have slowed down his development, but the young blue liner has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 41 games this season. A change of scenery should help Bogosian, especially because he should play a massive role in Buffalo.

Foligno has been out since December 21st after he underwent hand surgery. He was expected to miss six weeks, but today marks the five and a half week point. He participated in practice with a non-contact jersey, so he will need to shed that sweater before he returns.
