Chicago Blackhawks trade Alex DeBrincat and Kirby Dach, then select defenseman Kevin Korchinski with the No. 7 pick of the draft

The Chicago Blackhawks traded All-Star winger Alex DeBrincat to the Ottawa Senators for the Nos. 7 and 39 picks in this year’s NHL draft and a third-rounder in 2024.

Then in another draft-day stunner, the Hawks sent Kirby Dach to the Montreal Canadiens for the 13th and 66th picks

The Hawks spent the seventh pick on 6-foot-2, 185-pound defenseman Kevin Korchinski of the WHL’s Seattle Thunderbirds. NHL Central Scouting calls him “a high-end offensive defenseman who is very skilled and can generate scoring chances in all situations. Excellent on the power play.”
