It's too bad the Hawks had their typical huge mistakes in the 2nd period to give Phoenix a point. But as long as the Hawks keep winning like they did tonight, things will be fine.

 

Yeah, sucks to only get 1 point on Phoenix, but at least it's a win. Don't stop now boys!

NHL trade deadline, think it's my favorite deadline day, always seems to be tons of action. Hawks had been rumored to be picking up a D-man, and with the possible injury to Hendry last night, that makes it even more likely.

 

It sucks that they gave up a point to Phoenix last night, but the win was huge, especially with Nashville/Calgary/Anaheim all winning. Fun game to be at, definitely starting to feel more like a playoff-like atmosphere towards the end. Keep up the hot streak and steal two points in Minny tonight.

Hawks supposedly after this f***, Ladislav Smid.

 

1st rounder in 2004, 24, pretty s***ty player judging by the statistics. Career -42, hopefully scouts see something we can use in him if we do indeed go that route.

It will be ole change-of-scenery cliche. I wonder how often that actually works.

Hendry also severely injured his knee yesterday, according to Jesse Rogers on ESPN Radio. Not good. Very little depth for the Hawks on the blue line now. Wonder if Scott will get any time there now (hope not though).

You'd be better off with Steve Harnden on the blue line than Jon Scott.

Barry Melrose analysis: (It does seem like a 2nd rounder is a lot to give up)

 

Barry Melrose: Good puck mover. good skater, which everyone on Chicago is. Competes very hard, good character guy, so he will be a good depth defenseman for the Hawks. Again the fifth and sixth defenseman for Chicago only has to play 10 to 15 minutes a game.

ASSETS: Is extremely mobile and very polished when in possession of the puck. Can make up for his mistakes with his speed. Has some offensive ability.

FLAWS: Needs to work on his defensive-zone coverage, which is spotty at best. Struggles when he has to lay on the body, and can get manhandled in front of his own net.

CAREER POTENTIAL: Mobile defenseman with consistency issues.

We don't need a puckmoving defenseman, we need a penalty killer who brings toughness. This guy seems the exact opposite. We better be getting something else.

A second is pretty steep, but a lot of teams are trying to acquire defense right now. The Hawks also looked to be desperate with the injury to Hendry.

 

However, I also do agree with the guys above me that he doesn't really seem to fit with what the needs are.
