As a Hawk fan living in Florida. I watch A LOT of both Lightning and Blackhawk games.
Nobody (NOBODY) in Chicago is pining for Ruuta. In fact most hawk fans think they got the better of the deal. Keokkeok is a decent #7, Ruuta is an offensive defenseman who isn't really good enough for a top 6. ... Do you really want your "spare" D-man to be weak defensively?
Now to the actual topic, I think Bolt fans are going to be elated with Shattenkirk. He was playing on a knee in need of surgery 2 years ago and came back way too soon last year. Reports are he is fit, healthy and ready to go. The lightning (IN MY OPINION) now have 6 D-men who would play on most teams top 4.
