Blackhawks send Sharp to Stars in 4-player trade
The Chicago Blackhawks are sending three-time Stanley Cup champion winger Patrick Sharp and defensive prospect Stephen Jones to the Dallas Stars for veteran defenseman Trevor Daley and forward Ryan Garbutt.
The deal announced Friday night gives the Stars a veteran forward to go with high-scoring young stars Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. The Blackhawks add a solid two-way player to their blue line in Daley, who had a career-high 16 goals last season.
Sharp, 33, scored 43 points (16 goals, 27 assists) in 68 games for the Blackhawks, who beat Tampa Bay in seven games in June for their third Stanley Cup title in six seasons. He has 526 points in 745 regular-season games, and has appeared in 129 playoff games. The 31-year-old Daley spent his first 11 seasons with the Stars.
The Stars also signed defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to a one-year contract Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the value was reported by multiple sources to be $875,000 for the unrestricted free agent.
