BREAKING Erik Gustafsson Trade Pending.

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Nashville Predators tonight at the United Center and it looks like they might be without one of their key defensemen. Erik Gustafsson is not on the ice for warm ups and will likely be a healthy scratch for precautionary reason. That means that Gustafsson is almost but guaranteed to be traded in the next couple of hours. He's been mentioned as the most likely player to be traded and it looks like it's going to happen. Gustafsson will be UFA after this season so will likely be a rental for any acquiring team. More to come.
