Lightning Acquire Rights to Forward Prospect in a Trade with the Blackhawks

On Monday, June 1, the Chicago Blackhawks traded the signing rights of Pridham to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for a third-round selection in the 2027 NHL Draft.
The Chicago Blackhawks faced a Monday deadline to sign Pridham to an entry-level contract or risk losing his rights if he did not commit to a college program and re-entered this year's NHL Draft.
Following a career-best season with the Kitchener Rangers, Pridham recorded 46 goals and 90 points and helped the team win the Memorial Cup on Sunday.
The trade extends the Tampa Bay Lightning's rights to Pridham by two years, and he has committed to play NCAA hockey next season with an official announcement expected soon.
Chicago Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson secured a quality return for Pridham's rights, positioning the organization to build a contending roster as the 2027 pick provides future asset utility.
