DETROIT - With no points in 16 games for the Detroit Red Wings, Tomas Jurco didn't do anything this season that impressed the Chicago Blackhawks enough to acquire him in a trade.
Instead it was Jurco's potential and the skills he showed in the past that led Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman to strike a deal with Chicago's Original Six rival.
The Blackhawks sent the Red Wings a third-round pick in this year's draft for Jurco, a former second-round pick who never lived up to his potential in a limited role with Detroit.
