(670 The Score) The Blackhawks made a pair of minor trades Wednesday.
Chicago dealt 23-year-old defenseman Nicolas Beaudin to Montreal in exchange for 22-year-old forward Cameron Hillis, who will report to AHL Rockford. Later, the Blackhawks traded 23-year-old forward Evan Barratt to the Flyers for 23-year-old defenseman Cooper Zech, who will also report to Rockford.
The Blackhawks selected Beaudin in the first round of the 2018 NHL Draft, but he failed to establish himself in the organization. He recorded six points (two goals, four assists) across 22 games for the Blackhawks at the NHL level.
Montreal selected Hillis in the third round of the 2018 NHL Draft. He has appeared in one career NHL game.
Barratt also failed to latch on with Chicago, as he has yet to appear in an NHL game. The Blackhawks selected him in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft.
Zech has recorded 36 points (four goals, 32 assists) in 131 career AHL games.
