Last week alone in two separate trades, the Hawks dealt Nicolas Beaudin to the Montreal Canadiens for forward Cameron Hillis and forward Evan Barratt to the Philadelphia Flyers for defenseman Cooper Zech.
These moves were done to help Beaudin, and Barratt's careers. Both players will be heading home. Beaudin hails from the Montreal suburb of Chateauguay, Quebec; Barratt grew up in the Philadelphia suburb of Bristol, Pennsylvania, and played at Penn State.
GM Kyle Davidson shared a great quote on the business of Hockey.
A pro hockey career can be really short. It's great to see the human side of the game, from a young GM.
