CHICAGO ADDS DAVID TOEWS

The Chicago Blackhawks acquired forward David Toews from the New York Islanders for future considerations.

What does it give the Chicago Blackhawks
The Blackhawks are taking a flyer on Jonathan Toews' younger brother here. David Toews has a long way to go before he reaches the NHL (if he ever does), but perhaps landing in the organization that his brother captains will serve as a great motivator.

What does it give the New York Islanders
The Islanders all but gave up on Toews becoming a solid NHLer for them, so at least they did receive an asset in return (albeit it's not expected to be much in the end). The Isles drafted Toews in the third round in '08, so they wanted to get something out of it.
