The Trade that Shook Chicago | Chicago Blackhawks
Summer 1990, the Chicago Blackhawks made a move that shook the city to its core. This is a golden moment by the Chicago Blackhawks presented by Bud Light. The face of the franchise, the spinama king shipped to Montreal. In return, Chris Chelios and a draft pick. A hometown kid from the south side. A defenseman with bite, a glare, and a chip on his shoulder. A trade that changed Chicago. Fans were stunned. How do you trade savvy? But the Hawks weren’t chasing style anymore. Chelios brought fire to the blue line, a warrior who played the game leading with his fist and his skill and gave Chicago the edge it had been missing. Two Norris trophies, a captain seat, and a trip to the Stanley Cup final. In a single trade, the Hawks didn’t just swap stars. They traded flash for fire, style for steel. And with Chris Chelios, Chicago found its heartbeat. A trade that changed Chicago. A golden moment by the Chicago Blackhawks. Presented by Bud Light.
In the summer of 1990, the NHL was shocked when the Montreal Canadiens traded defenseman Chris Chelios and a second-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for center Denis Savard. Episode 2 of Golden Moments, presented by @budlight dives into the trade that changed Chicago hockey.

Shame he never won the cup with us.
Sometimes bold moves work out. Other times you trade Artemi Panarin for Brandon Saad.
