Chicago In Need Of “D”

from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
General manager Dale Tallon has been trying to trade for a veteran defenseman for weeks, and he still might be able to pull off such a deal using his surplus of forwards and prospects as bait.
There have been whispers of Tallon inquiring about Ottawa’s Wade Redden, who could be available because of his $6.5 million salary and impending free agency, but the price would be steep. You’d have to figure the Senators would want back another defenseman such as Seabrook or Keith, and maybe a pick and a prospect, or perhaps both.
Tallon might be better off keeping Seabrook and Keith and continuing his search for a top-four defenseman elsewhere.

Chicago has had some bad luck with Russian players in the past. Maybe that is why they are reluctant go go after Markov.

Yea the Hawks should keep those young D as they will be good ones. Redden is overpaid, but good - he was injured last season, but not worth what the Sens are asking.
The Hawks should talk to Toronto, I am sure they would move Kubina in a heartbeat. He’s due to have a good year, coming off a tough one. AND TO wouldn’t want a D in return but rather a forward.
