Blackhawks Acquire Johnny Oduya In Trade With Stars

(CBS) Johnny Oduya is coming back to Chicago for another championship push.

The Stars traded the 11-year veteran defenseman Oduya to the Blackhawks on Tuesday evening, reuniting him with the organization he won Stanley Cups with in 2013 and 2015.

Chicago sent forward Mark McNeill and a conditional fourth-round draft pick back to Dallas. The conditional pick could turn into a third-rounder depending on the performance of Chicago and Oduya in the playoffs.

The 35-year-old Oduya has one goal and six assists in 37 games this season. He’s dealt with an ankle injury recently.

Oduya will be an unrestricted free agent at season’s end. He signed a two-year with the Stars in July 2015 as the Blackhawks couldn’t offer similar money while facing a salary cap crunch.
