FLORIDA TRADES ROSTISLAV OLESZ TO CHICAGO FOR BRIAN CAMPBELL

JUNE 24, 2011 -- Defenseman Brian Campbell's $7.1M per year contract was shed by the Chicago Blackhawks Friday.  Florida GM Dale Tallon was only too happy to pick it up in return for forward Rostislav Olesz.

Campbell, who won the 2010 Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks, is coming off an excellent season (65GP: 5-22-27; +28).  His plus-28 mark represented his best showing in that statistical category since the 2006-07 season in Buffalo, which included an Eastern Conference final appearance.

Campbell still has five years left in his current contract.

Olesz scored six goals and 17 points in 41 games with Florida last season. Olesz missed a number of games, including 17 with a broken finger and the final 21 games of the season with a knee injury.
