from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
“We have a pretty good 1-2 punch now with Campbell and Dunc,” said Savard. “One of them is going to be on the ice every other shift.
“Campbell gives us a lot of options now. I don’t care how many good forwards you have, it takes a good defenseman to get the puck to the forwards. He fits in with us perfectly. He’s got great skill, but he’s also good in his own end.”
As for how Campbell will fit in on the power play, Savard envisions the two-time all-star playing the point on the right side.
“We’ll see where he fits best, but I know he’s going to be out there with (Jonathan) Toews, (Patrick) Kane and (Martin) Havlat,” said Savard.
“We’ll make adjustments, but he gives us a lot more options. He’ll bring it up the ice on the power play, which will have us spending less time going back for pucks.”

It seems the whole NHL has learned from the Wings’ Nick Lidstrom the value of a solid, puck-moving defense to set up the attack.
