"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report

Rob Scuderi

According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, The Chicago Blackhawks are close to a deal that will send defenseman Rob Scuderi to the Los Angeles Kings for defenseman Christian Ehrhoff. 

McKenzie reports the trade may not be completed until late Friday.

McKenzie on the trade: "It should get done."

Both players recently cleared waivers. McKenzie says salary retention could be involved.

Either way, it sounds like Chicago gets the benefit here.
