Hawks fan say he is LH but prefers playing the right side.

He's a lefty that always plays RD. In fact Blackhawks fans say there's a noticeable difference when he plays the left side. Not a fit.

Not a fit is in reference to him playing with Weber.

Hjalmarsson is good. This is excellent value. This is an upgrade.

Why in the actual **** do we trade a RD for a LD?
Hammer played on OEL's right side on Swedish Nat'l teams.

I seem to recall a Chicago fan saying that Hjalmarsson plays the right side fairly frequently.

Hjalmarsson has comfortably played RD with Keith and Oduya over the past few seasons IIRC. This could be a great deal for the Yotes, OEL-Hjalmarsson could be among the best pairings in the league and really much minutes for you guys.

Pretty sure Hjalmarsson plays the right side even though he's a lefty.

Great trade by Chayka. Hammer can play the right side effectively and I believe did so a lot this season as partner to Keith.

Should be noted that Hjalmarsson is under contract for two more years at $4M, while Murphy was at $3.85M for five more years.
