As you may have heard, our beloved Chicago Blackhawks recently added Jordin Tootoo to the roster from the New Jersey Devils for a relatively cheap amount for an equally short duration. His bruiser reputation preceding him, Tootoo has been viewed by some in ‘Hawks Circles as Andrew Shaw’s replacement. Yet, outside of sheer physicality, statistically Tootoo is a far cry from Shaw.
Thus, there are many in Blackhawks Nation that question why Tootoo was even signed at all, and certainly with merit. After all, the Blackhawks still have a lot of offensive questions that need to be answered on all but their second line.
