The Red Wings traded the 24-year-old forward to the Blackhawks on Feb. 24. He skated in 159 games for the Red Wings since 2013-14, totaling 39 points (15-24-39) and 46 penalty minutes.
He was drafted by the Red Wings in 2011. So, yeah, he might have been pretty bored since he only played 159 games for the NHL club over a 5-year period.
