Last night after the Blackhawks traded Jason Dickinson to Edmonton, I posted an updated Jason Dickinson Trade Tree on Twitter. It’s pretty remarkable to consider Kyle Davidson turned Riley Stillman into 266 games from Dickinson, three first-round picks and, now, Andrew Mangiapane for a little more than one year (so far…).
I started wandering down the road of doing a similar graphic for a trade tree for Connor Murphy in the wake of his trade to Edmonton, but… that is such a fun, winding path with some pretty remarkable names and trade scenarios involved that it felt like we needed more than just a graphic.
So, let’s unpack the newly updated Connor Murphy Trade Tree. Our road begins in the year 1999…
June 26, 1999 — the Blackhawks acquired defenseman Bryan McCabe and a conditional first-round pick (No. 11 overall in the 2000 NHL Draft — Pavel Vorobiev) from the Vancouver Canucks for Chicago’s first round pick in the 1999 NHL Draft, No. 4 overall (forward Pavel Brendl).That trade was part of a complicated scheme put in motion by then-Canucks GM Brian Burke to get both Henrik and Daniel Sedin to Vancouver. McCabe appeared in 79 games for the Blackhawks in the 1999-2000 season. Vorobiev scored 10 goals in 57 games for the Blackhawks before going back to Russia in 2006. Brendl appeared in 78 career regular-season NHL games.
Oct. 2, 2000 — the Blackhawks traded McCabe to the Toronto Maple Leafs for defenseman Alexander Karpovtsev and a fourth-round pick in the 2001 draft (No. 115 defenseman Vladimir Gusev).Gusev never appeared in an NHL game. You may remember Karpovtsev was the focus of a legendary rant by Pat Foley when he was dealt.
March 9, 2004 — the Blackhawks traded Karpovtsev to the New York Islanders for a fourth-round pick in the 2005 NHL Draft (No. 108 — defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson).Hjalmarsson spent ten years with the Blackhawks and was a key piece of their three championship seasons. He is one of the most under appreciated defensemen of the past 15 years. Indeed, Chicago wouldn’t have three banners at the United Center without the contributions of Hjalmarsson.
June 23, 2017 — the Blackhawks traded Hjalmarsson to Arizona for forward Laurent Dauphin and defenseman Connor Murphy.Murphy appeared in 547 games for the Blackhawks over nine seasons. He was named the Blackhawks’ King Clancy Award nominee five consecutive seasons for representing the organization in the community. He played on some bad teams, played thru some nasty injuries, and gave it all. Dauphin never appeared in a game for the Blackhawks after he was acquired with Murphy.
March 2, 2026 — the Blackhawks traded Murphy to Edmonton for a second-round pick in 2028.Who will this pick turn into? And what does that add to this amazing, winding trade tree? We’ll have to wait a couple years to see!
That isn’t all…
That isn’t the finale of this trade tree, however. There’s one more move that needs to be recognized.
Jan. 10, 2018 — the Blackhawks traded Dauphin with forward Richard Panik to Arizona for forward Anthony Duclair and defenseman Adam Clendening.Clendening’s transaction report is wild. The Hawks originally drafted him in 2011 and initially traded him to Vancouver for defenseman Gustav Forsling in 2015. He was then part of the trade that sent Nick Bonino to Pittsburgh later that year; the Pens then traded him with David Perron to Anaheim for Carl Hagelin in 2016. After a couple one-year deals he wound up in Arizona, and then headed back to Chicago.
Duclair appeared in just 23 games for the Blackhawks, scoring two goals with six assists. Both Duclair and Clendening left the organization as free agents after the 2017-18 season.
