Both Connolly and Borgstrom were acquired in the same trade last April from the Florida Panthers. Chicago sent Lucas Carlsson and Lucas Wallmark to Florida in exchange for Connolly, Borgstrom, Riley Stillman, and a seventh-round pick. Connolly scored just one goal and three points over 19 games for the Blackhawks all told. His buyout will cost the team $1,166,667 for two seasons, which represents a savings of $2,333,333 in 2022-23 and then an addition ofBorgstrom was one of the sweeteners that the Blackhawks received for taking on Connolly’s contract. The No. 23 overall pick from the 2016 NHL Draft, Borgstrom produced excellent numbers with the University of Denver but he hasn’t been able to find his footing at the NHL level.
