The Blackhawks sent defenseman Klas Dahlbeck and a 2015 first-round draft pick in exchange for forward Vermette who arrives as Chicago has recently lost leading scorer Patrick Kane.

Kane suffered an upper body injury on Tuesday and will be out until at least late May.

Vermette, 32, goes from one of the worst teams in the Western Conference to one of the best.
