The real steal here is Mathieu Brisebois.

Don't know much about him other than he is 21...

#Coyotes have acquired a 2nd round draft choice in 2014 from Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for Dmen David Rundblad & Mathieu Brisebois.

Okay, maybe this trade wasn't so bad...

Agreed.

I like the deal.

Does Rundblad go to the Hawks or to Rockford?

By proxy, Florida has become Bowman's dumping grounds. Florida is dumping their crap in Vancouver.

It's a wonderful world we live in.

Eli...

FLA = St. Louis Browns of the modern NHL

Probably not much more than a few slots between the 2nd rounder to Phoenix and the 3rd from Florida for Pirri.

Brisebois put up huge numbers last year in the Q:

19 goals 53 assists +15 103 PIM in 64 games.

As a d-man that is quite impressive.

With the way Q shortens the bench, if Leddy is traded, Keith will get his ice time anyway.

And the Canes extended Khudobin for 2 years, 4.5 mil total.

Maybe Cam Ward gets moved this deadline?

So that makes the Canucks the Memphis Chicks with a team full of Pete Grays?

Is Rundblad the type of guy who could replace a Nick Leddy, if something somewhat larger, involving Leddy, was in the works?

So, Stan trades for two d-men, one with NHL experience (Kostka's replacement) and one punk. Depth and future move, or is a d-man on the way out tomorrow in a bigger trade?

Does Rundblad go to the Hawks or to Rockford?

I'm figuring Rockford. Al posted that Bowman said no more d-men playing forward, so that idea would negate carrying 8 defensemen.

From the looks of it an undersized offensive defenseman.

That's what I am wondering. If not Rundblad can platoon with Rozy next season.

Doubtful, but there's always a chance...

Why?

- raiger

He has 50 NHL games under his belt since 2011. Leddy has 176 and a Stanley Cup run since 2010.

Can he go to Rockford? I read that Phoenix wanted to send him to the AHL but couldn't because he'd be exposed to waivers.

That's a good point. Let's see how that plays out...

Da (frank) is wrong with you?

David Rundblad will join the #Blackhawks roster. So we're right back to 8 D, which Bowman implied the other day he didn't really want.
