Blackhawks and Flyers complete minor deal, Chicago's second trade of the day
Just over an hour after trading 2018 first round pick Nicolas Beaudin to the Montreal Canadiens, the Chicago Blackhawks have completed a second trade on Wednesday, this time with the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Blackhawks have traded Pennsylvania native Evan Barratt to the Flyers in exchange for defenceman Cooper Zech.
Barratt, 23, was drafted by the Blackhawks in the third round in 2017. He spent three years at Penn State before turning pro in 2020. In 63 games last season for Rockford (AHL), Barratt put up 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists), 70 penalty minutes and was a minus-five.
Zech, 23, has yet to play this season and will report to Rockford in the AHL. In 53 games last season for the Flyers' AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley, the South Lyon (Michigan) native had 11 points (one goal, ten assists), 12 penalty minutes and was a plus-three.
TRADE ALERT: We have acquired forward Evan Barratt from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for defenseman Cooper Zech. https://t.co/po6rcAqn0W— Philadelphia Flyers (@NHLFlyers) October 26, 2022
