Confirmed with Link: David Rundblad and Mathieu Brisebois to the Hawks for a 2nd (2014)

Sounds like familiar treatment from Q to a player now in Florida..

You mean half their roster?

Yeah, the way things went with Q and Pirri is a great comparable to what went on with Tippett and Rundblad.

Anyway, I think Rundblad still has a decent chance of becoming a good offensive defenseman, and I wish him nothing but the best, since he never once complained about being mishandled like he was. Really hope he can succeed with you guys.

This makes no sense if he isn't in the teams plans. The guy he fits on the Hawks is Leddy.

mother of god...

 

[ClydeLee]

Egads, a righty. Keep fighting for the depth

Yep.

Otherwise it's kinda out of the blue.

Rundblad draft video

 

[Sevanston]

He sounds more like a better version of Adam Clendening than Nick Leddy.

 

[HavlatMach9]

not sure where his defensive game is at, but it didn't take long for him to show some offensive flair when he first played in the NHL.

 

[hawksfan50]

Another Swedish man...actually he probably went to the wrong team and system in POX..now in our system. ..well you know how Standard likes PMD s who can skate and stretch pass and rush the puck up ice too. He should blossom without talent and skill. .and bond with our other Swedes on the team..This is a.good deal but eventually Leddy and probably Clendenning can be moved for other pieces.

Anyone else thinking that the Hawks may be moving Oduya for some C insurance, and moving Leddy up with Hjammer? Then have Rundblad/Roszival/Brookbank as the 3rd pair?

Clendening must be part of the Kesler trade.

Can't imagine why you'd break up Hammer and Oduya.

Leddy & Bicks for Kesler?

Something is definitely happening. Love the trade even if it's a stand alone but this trade could have some seriously awesome dominoes.

 

[SLarmer28*]

Now trade Sheldon Brookbank for a McDonald's value meal.

Get 'er done Stan!

Not necessarily. The Hawks like have a puck mover/offensive guy on each pairing. It could mean Oduya gets traded as well.

@MarkLazerus: Stan Bowman on Saturday: "Having eight defensemen all year made a challenge for the coaches to try to get enough ice time for the guys."

Nope!

Nick Leddy has more trade value than Johnny Oduya.

D of the future

Keith seabrook
Hammer Rundblad (keep the swedes together+lefty righty combo)
Leddy Johns/UFA
Clendening

Throw Clendening in Leddy's spot if he gets traded. But wow if Rundblad can live up to his potential this looks solid.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

If Q didn't trust Leddy in the clutch last spring he's going to HATE Rundblad.

 

[Bubba88]

Great deal. This could be the end for Clendening with the Hawks. Other than that I think we'll see Oduya being traded in the summer.

Keith - Seabrook
Leddy Hjalmarsson Rundblad Roszival


being our Top6 going forward.

 

[Gurth]

Nope!

Yeah, if I'm Vancouver (or anyone else), I'm wanting Leddy over Oduya every day of the week.

 

[Chelios]

Leddy & Bicks for Kesler?

Hjammer and Oduya (Oduya specificlly) haven't been particularly good this year, could definitely see them moving Oduya before Leddy (unless of course they are able to get a significant asset that fits long term).

 

[SLarmer28*]

Great deal. This could be the end for Clendening with the Hawks. Other than that I think we'll see Oduya being traded in the summer.

Bull! Rozsival will traded before Oduya.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Rozi aint going anywhere.

 

[SLarmer28*]

Rozi aint going anywhere.

Neither is Oduya.
