The Chicago Blackhawks and Boston Bruins completed a trade today in hockey history that sent forward George "Red" Sullivan to Da Windy City.

Today in hockey history we look back on a trade completed between the Blackhawks and Bruins.

As we approach what should be a very interesting season for the Bruins, we still have a few weeks of downtime.

In the midst of an NHL offseason, a slow one to say the least, trade rumors continue to swirl, as well as past trades that may have shaped a franchise.

Today, on September 10th, 1954, we take a look at a #WaybackWednesday deal between the Bruins and Blackhawks:

Trade completed on this day results in a Blackhawks steal of a deal

The Blackhawks' acquisition of George 'Red Sullivan' marked a turning point for the organization.

It brought a scoring touch to a team that once lacked it in the 1950s.

They finished last in the NHL with only 12 wins in the 1953-54 season.

His two-year time in Chicago saw him lead the team in scoring and the roster back to its winning ways.

In 1956, Sullivan's career took a very, very scary turn, as he suffered life-threatening injuries from an incident with Montreal Canadiens defenseman Doug Harvey.

After a lengthy recovery, he capped off his career with the New York Rangers.

Sullivan would've looked much better in black and gold, but another gem, mirroring a Don Sweeney/Brad Marchand deal, was given away for a poor return.
