In what has been the quietest trade deadline imaginable, the Chicago Blackhawks did make one move earlier Wednesday, acquiring forward Maxim Sauve from the Boston Bruins in exchange for forward Rob Flick.
Flick has had a quiet year with the Rockford IceHogs, scoring three goals and dishing out two assists in 51 games. He is also a minus-11 on the year and has racked up 97 penalty minutes.
