Fleischmann was traded to the Blackhawks along with Dale Weise on Friday. In return, the Canadiens have received Phillip Danault and a second-round draft pick in 2018.

EDGE Analysis

Fleischmann is a rental player based on how he'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer. The 31-year-old comes with a cap hit of just $750,000, making him a bargain for the Blackhawks as general manager Stan Bowman is doing all he can to ensure that Lord Stanley stays with the team. Chicago's forward group is absolutely stacked, with Andrew Ladd reuniting with the Blackhawks, a precursor to further upgrades by the likes of Fleischmann and Weise. Fleischmann was only a modest offensive contributor, pitching in 10 goals and 10 assists in 57 games with the Habs, but the journeyman is about to have the best supporting cast of his career. As a result, he's a nice speculative pickup in fantasy pools.
