Have you seen Johns? He's not much to get excited about... if he was, he would have been playing in the playoffs when the Blackhawks were forced into playing 3 defensemen over 30 minutes a game because lack of D depth. Hard to believe they thought much of him when they would rather throw a 44 year old Timonen out there for 4 minutes a game over him. There was some noise before the draft that they would package him up for a pick.
I really like the looks of your top 9 forwards now though, very deep. Pretty crazy they didn't make the playoffs last season, actually.
Lehtonen really shit the bed last season. I watched quite a bit of Stars hockey the first half of last year because I thought they would be a fun team to watch. Oh, on that trade... This trade was in the works for a couple of months and was supposed to be done before the draft but Chicago didn't want Garbutt, they were after Roussel but the Stars wouldn't give him up. The Hawks had another trade lined up after that but everything fell through... The two trades together were going to allow the hawks to keep Saad.
