The Blackhawks added Perry from the Tampa Bay
Lightning in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2024 NHL
Draft.
Chicago acquired Bailey and a second-round pick in the 2026
draft from the New York Islanders in exchange for future
considerations. TSN reported, however, that the Blackhawks are
placing Bailey on unconditional waivers for the purposes of a
buyout.
Perry, 38, is set to become an unrestricted free agent on
Saturday after coming off a two-year, $2 million contract.
The former Hart Trophy recipient had 25 points (12 goals, 13
assists) in 81 games last season with the Lightning.
The Blackhawks have been busy of late, notably selecting Regina
Pats center Connor Bedard with the top overall pick of the draft
on Wednesday. They also selected U.S. National Team Development
Program forward Oliver Moore with the 19th overall pick and
acquired forwards Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno in a trade with
the Boston Bruins on Monday.
Also on Thursday, the Detroit Red Wings acquired forwards Kailer
Yamamoto and Klim Kostin from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange
for future considerations.
The Red Wings also traded their second-round pick (No. 43
overall) to the host Nashville Predators for the selections Nos.
47 and 147. Nashville selected Rogle Jr. (Sweden) center Felix
Nilsson at No. 43.
The Predators weren't done, however. They traded their 79th
overall pick to the Dallas Stars in exchange for third- and
sixth-round selections in the 2024 NHL Draft. The Stars selected
Ottawa (Ontario Hockey League) forward Brad Gardiner with the
79th pick.
The Carolina Hurricanes shipped their third-round selection (No.
71 overall) to the San Jose Sharks for picks Nos. 94 and 100.
The Sharks tabbed Youngstown (USHL) forward Brandon Svoboda with
the 71st pick.
