The Blackhawks traded forward Jeremy Morin to the Blue Jackets for defenseman Tim Erixon on Sunday, according to an ESPN.com report.

Morin, 23, had been on a conditioning assignment with the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL. 

Morin, who was once considered one of the Blackhawks' top offensive prospects, was expected to play a larger role this season, but never won over Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville. .

Erixon, 23, has one goal, five assists in 19 games for the Blue Jackets this season.
