The Black Hawks exchanged their first Phase I pick in order to sign defenseman Sam Rossini during the league's pre-draft tender period last week.

On Tuesday, the Hawks also sent draft picks to the Sioux City Musketeers in order to acquire forward Brock Boeser for next season. Committed to the University of Wisconsin, Boeser spent much of the winter skating for Burnsville High School in Minnesota. He appeared in eight USHL regular season games for the Musketeers, notching three goals and two assists, then added one more goal in eight playoff appearances.

The Black Hawks open the Clark Cup Championship Series against the Indiana Ice Friday. Games One and Two of the best-of-five affair will be played at Young Arena and good seats are available for the matchups.
