The Chicago Blackhawks traded Jack Pridham's rights to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a 2027 third-round draft pick on June 1, 2026. Pridham recently led the Kitchener Rangers to victory in the 2026 Memorial Cup but opted not to sign an entry-level contract with Chicago after de-committing from Boston University. He is committed to play NCAA hockey next season, although his school is yet to be announced. This trade allows the Blackhawks to recoup a similar pick to the one used to draft Pridham in 2024.
