"there's a chance" = could happen but I don't know anything!

!!!!!!!

It's like his name!

 

[ZiGOODejad]

wow i wonder if its a possibility

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I hope so

I don't trust Kempny or TVR in top 4 role in event of an injury

+ Oduya could help our PK

Kempny/TVR as our 6/7's would be very strong depth and having Oduya or Campbell for our bottom pairing at all times would also strengthen unit as a whole

 

[tatoo]

I sure hope so,and I would like center who could win a face off .

 

[NHL RankKing]

Oduya shoots left and the Hawks need an RHD.
This is also the best depth the Hawks have had on the blue-line.

Oduya was great while he was a Hawk but I just don't see this working out (who knows... I may eat my words)

Seems to be some smoke to the Oduya fire. Nothing confirmed yet, though.

Desharnais + a 2nd

"Ex-Hawk to Hawks" is pretty much a perpetual rumor. Interesting comments by Lazerus though.

 

[The Tourist]

Definitely being traded. Reportedly already seen leaving the arena.

 

[Teemu]

Pokka and Forsling are warming up for tonight's Rockford game, McNeill is not

[Empoleon8771]

But why though? I really don't see how Oduya fills a need for them. Is this just a familiarity trade?

 

[McOvechking]

Dallas unloading their d-corps

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Good to hear

 

[MMC]

Gotta be Pokka + right?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Weird trade. Is Dallas going to run actual traffic cones as defence? They're running out of pylon impersonators at an alarming rate.

[Teemu]

I'm no big fan of Oduya... but that is not much to give up

 

[Vitto79]

I'm sure Dallas has a waiver pickup in D. Like the Calgary kid they traded before ?

 

[OriginJM]

fair trade imo

We've still got Klingberg, Lindell, Nemeth, Oleksiak, Hamhuis, and Johns. We've also got a couple guys in Cedar Park that could get a look, including Honka.
