David Rundblad

[Avangard]

Part of that was a contract issue. It's not clear that Rundblad beat Clendening out -- one was eligible for the AHL, the other wasn't. Clendening's earlier season call-up was a pretty good indication of where he's at in their plans.

Not saying Clendening's better either. It'd be nice to see him get a better shot, but they're just loaded. Next season will be a better indication.

I do think Rundblad is a nice speculative add in deep leagues. I cut him loose and am starting to second-guess things.

The decision of trading for Rundblad and Erixon was directly related to the fact that Clendening in Q's mind was not NHL-ready. He might be up next year, but he needs his D to play sound defense first, and then put up the points. This is exactly what Rundblad is doing, and very well.

I'm thinking of drafting him first overall in my SHL fantasy league next season

Are you being sarcastic ? If this is the case as I sense, thanks for enriching our discussion with your excellent knowledge.

Meh. They have a guy named Adam Clendening. He is the guy you want if we are looking beyond this season.

Care to revisit?

Care to revisit?

Seems like Rundblad has had the Hawks clearing some space/time for him....or for TVR....hopefully both. Leddy, now Clendening. Who's next?

I'm not convinced that they cleared Clendening to make room for Rundblad, who is already in the NHL... It might be more about Pokka.

Have they traded Sheldon Brookbank yet?

I just googled to see where he was now and it seems he's playing in Russia!! I had no idea he'd fallen that far....or maybe he's just well-paid.

Anyway, back to Rundblad...I have him and I'm hoping he continues getting chances with the Hawks. I've liked him for a while now, but just needs playing time.

Why Brookbank ?

I think you mean, "Why not Brookbank?".

You're so big and funny. It hurts.

[ericdaoust]

Why Brookbank ?

Why not?

[Avangard]

Why not?

I don't get it. He's playing in the KHL.

The other guy understood the joke.
