The deal
Blackhawks get: Kimmo Timonen
Flyers get: Blackhawks' second-round pick in 2015, conditional fourth-round pick in 2016. If the Blackhawks win two rounds in the playoffs and Timonen plays in 50 percent of the games, the pick becomes a third-rounder in 2016. If Chicago wins three rounds and he plays in 50 percent of the games, it becomes a second-rounder in 2016.
This is high risk, high reward for Chicago. It has the potential to pay off in a big way, in that they’re getting a veteran defenseman who was a legitimate, top-pairing defenseman the past season -- at 38 years old.
