The Chicago Blackhawks got some necessary salary-cap relief and an extra draft pick by trading forward Brandon Bollig to the Calgary Flames for the No. 83 pick Saturday at the 2014 NHL Draft at Wells Fargo Center.

The Blackhawks used the pick to select Matheson Iacopelli, who had 41 goals last season playing for Muskegon in the United States Hockey League.

By trading Bollig for a draft pick the Blackhawks save $1.25 million on the $69 million salary cap. The Blackhawks are in the market for a second-line center and have less than $1 million in salary cap space, according to CapGeek.com.

Bollig has a three-year, $3.75 million contract that begins next season. He had 14 points and 92 penalty minutes in 82 games last season. He had no points in 43 games during the previous two seasons. He's a fourth-line player who fits the mold of the type of bottom-six player Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke usually likes.
