The sixth defense-man has been the Achilles heel of the Blackhawks all season. The Blackhawks have tried many players at that position. The problem was supposed to be solved at the trade deadline. The Blackhawks acquired Kimmo Timonen on February 27th from the Philadelphia Flyers. When the Blackhawks acquired him, they thought they were getting a Top Six defense-man that had appeared in 77 games last season. He has 35 points for the Flyers. He had not played in game before the Blackhawks acquired him. Timonen had not appeared in a game due to blood clots.
Chicago Blackhawks Should Play David Rundblad.
