ORIGINAL: SoMnFan Joe ..……… are you guys acquiring defensemen, or …. vowels? CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Blackhawks made another trade for a veteran defenseman on Monday, acquiring Calvin de Haan in a deal with the Carolina Hurricanes. The Blackhawks also received minor league forward Aleksi Saarela in exchange for defenseman Gustav Forsling and goaltender Anton Forsberg. Chicago has been looking to upgrade its blue line since it missed the playoffs last season for the second straight year. It acquired Olli Maatta in a trade with Pittsburgh on June 15. The addition of de Haan and Maatta raises questions about what the Blackhawks might do with the rest of their defensemen. They also have Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Connor Murphy, Erik Gustafsson, Carl Dahlstrom and Slater Koekkoek on their roster, and Henri Jokiharju could take on a prominent role after finishing last season in the minors. Better tell the uniform and locker room staff there to get some damn A's ordered, immediately. HA! That's a fact about ordering more "a's". I liked Forsling last year, once he got his legs under him. Maaaaatta looks like he might fit in somewhere on the line. Don't be surprised if one of the big two find a new home in the next year or so.
