Welcome back to Chicago, Johnny Oduya.

As for the particulars, ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that the Stars acquired Mark McNeill and a conditional fourth-round pick from the Blackhawks. TSN’s Bob McKenzie later provided some more details on the conditional pick.
If CHI wins two rounds and Oduya plays in 50 per cent or more of CHI games, fourth-round pick becomes a third-round pick to DAL.

DAL retains 50 per cent of Oduya's salary.

This will be Oduya’s second stint in Chicago, as he played for the Blackhawks for four seasons from 2011-2015. He has one goal and seven points in 37 games this season for the Stars.
