Leddy the next Keith?

08:25 AM ET 07.23 | Blackhawks fans may believe the Wild will regret trading Nick Leddy. Wow, forget Cam Barker, we just stole Nick Leddy. Although he is farther away than Lalonde or Beach, his skill set might have been the most impressive at camp and without a doubt he has the most potential out of any prospect in the Blackhawks system. Literally identical to Duncan Keith when he broke into the league, Leddy has a good amount of work to do in order to develop the way Keith has. Nick displays the same tendencies as Keith did at a young age. His skating technique is better than most NHLers right now, and can keep up with anyone.

Being a MN fan, I was surprised to see the GM trade away a first round pick, however we did get rid of Johnson who will probably retire. It should be interesting to see how Barker does in a whole season with the Wild.

So are Badgers....But the Badgers don't boast arguably the greatest college hockey program all-time. Too bad.

Trading for "potential" is like a water slide. A lot of fun while it lasts but it's always a downward slide ... which inevitably ends with a jolt at the bottom. That's where the Hawks find themselves these days. We, Oil fans, know the feeling quite well.

No way! Badgers aren't affraid of anything. Pound for pound, they're one of the toughest little buggers out there. They'll take on all comers, including a bear. A hawk would be extremely stupid to tangle with one.

The University of Minnesota doesn't boast the greatest college hockey program of all time either. The University of Michigan has won more NCAA Division I hockey championships than any other school and also produced more NHL hockey players than any other school. Sorry

Ah Wolverines. Now we're talking nasty varmints. They treat life like Hank treats the Nucks.
Canuck eh?

Ya there's that too. But nobody's been biting lately. It must be too hot and humid there right now to get all lathered up with rightgeous indignation about the lowly Leafs.

Ah, yes! Wolverines and badgers ... all related to the Tasmanian devils ... and so is Hank ... I think.

Chicago's demise will be greatly exagerated. The core of that team is still pretty darn good and if they have more young guns like this fellow they will be contenders for awhile.

Not disagreeing with you. But, as the Sharks and the Flyers have shown, there's a fine line between contenders and pretenders. It will all come down to what they have in Rockford to supplement what they have up here and what they can do at the TDL to get the pieces they need to put them over the top. As is, they have way too much invested in 3 unmovable players to have much felxibility.

Nicely put DCruiser! Maybe that's why Hank loves the Nuckies so much!

We'll see. I'd like for Chicago to do well over the next few years, as it's been a long time coming, not as long as the Leafs, but until the season starts I wouldn't say that it's completely exagerated.
They do have the core, but they need Xtra help like all teams, and if it's not their then...........

At least they're not saying he's the next Orr, which means some have come down to earth!

I would not count out the Chicago Blackhawks quite yet. They may be contenders for a few years , even if they fail to repeat.
