On December 30, after clearing waivers, defenseman David Rundblad was assigned to the Chicago Blackhawks’ AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs. Coach Joel Quenneville was recently asked if Rundblad had a long-term future with the team. Quenneville responded that it was “tough to say.” That is Coach Quenneville speak for having no future with the Blackhawks. Quenneville would also “see” about giving Rundblad anytime at Rockford.
Based on this, uh, brief conversation with Q, it doesn’t sound like David Rundblad has a future with #Blackhawks. pic.
