Chris DiDomenico, drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL draft, was traded to Chicago in a deal that saw the Leafs acquire Chris Versteeg. There were several other pieces involved in the deal as well.
From a Maple Leafs press release:
Brian Burke, president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced a multi-player trade with the Chicago Blackhawks Wednesday evening. The Maple Leafs have obtained right-winger Kris Versteeg and the rights to left-winger Bill Sweatt (pronounced SWEHT). In exchange, the Blackhawks will receive forwards Viktor Stalberg, Chris DiDomenico and Philippe Paradis.
In the post-season, DiDomenico has 19 goals and 56 assists in 43 games. That includes a league championship with the Voltigeurs in 2009, a Final that saw him severely break his leg by going feet first into the end boards.
The Woodstock, Ontario came back to play in the post-season with Drummondville last year before the squad bowed out in the semi-finals against the Moncton Wildcats. He is expected to will likely play in the American Hockey League next year.
DiDomenico is famously known across the land for his work with the gold medal winning 2009 Canadian national junior team.
The center is the first Sea Dog to ever be dealt in a NHL trade.DiDomenico recorded 90 goals and 161 assists in 203 career QMJHL games. He played three-and-a-half seasons in Saint John before being traded to Drummondville at the 2009 trade deadline.
