Sens deal Havlat and Smolinski to Chicago

The Ottawa Senators have traded Martin Havlat and Bryan Smolinski to the Chicago Blackhawks in a three-way deal also involving the San Jose Sharks.

Chicago sent Mark Bell to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Tom Priessing and Josh Hennessy, who the Blackhawks added to a package to land Havlat and Smolinski.

Along with Preissing and Hennessy, the Blackhawks sent prospect Michal Barinka and a 2008 second-round draft pick to Ottawa in exchange for Havlat and Smolinski.

Havlat, a restricted free agent who has been insisting on signing a one-year deal so he can test the unrestricted free agent market next summer, missed 58 games last season following shoulder surgery.  However, he recorded 16 points in 18 regular season games before a superb playoff performance in which he tallied 13 points in 10 games, making him a hot commodity this summer.

The 25 year-old Czech winger has accumulated 235 points in 298 career games, all with the Senators.



Smolinski, 34, scored 48 points and had a plus-8 rating in 81 games last season.  A versatile performer, Smolinski has 582 points in 910 career games with Ottawa, Los Angeles, New York Islanders, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Boston.  Smolinski was originally a first-round pick of the Bruins in 1990.

Bell, 25, had a career-best 25 goals and 48 points in 82 games with the Blackhawks in 2005-2006.  The 6-foot-4, 205-pound winger also plays a physical game, having registered more than 100 penalty minutes in each of his four full NHL seasons.

Preissing, 27, is an offensive defenceman who enjoyed a very productive 2005-2006 season, scoring 43 points and registering a plus-17 rating for the Sharks.  Signed out of Colorado College in 2003, Preissing has 62 points in 143 career NHL games and is set to make $600,000 this year.

Hennessey is a 21 year-old prospect that the Sharks selected in the second round of the 2003 draft.  He scored 63 points in 80 games with Cleveland of the American Hockey League last season, his first year as a pro.

Barinka, 22, was a second-round pick in 2003 and played 25 games with the Blackhawks last season, recording one assist and a minus-7 rating.  The Czech-born defender has good size, at 6-foot-3 and 217 pounds, and produced 12 points in 54 games with Norfolk of the American Hockey League.
