Blackhawks seeking “couple of pieces”
via Chicago Tribune:
Tallon said he would like to "add a power-play guy. A really top-notch defenseman who can play a lot of minutes, and a top-notch forward."
The offense would be boosted by a defenseman who can play quarterback on the power play and Sharks free agent Brian Campbell fits the bill perfectly. The veteran scored eight goals and added 54 assists splitting time with the Sabres and Sharks but is rumored to want up to $8 million per season. The Hawks are well below the salary cap.
Other defensemen the Hawks could be interested in are Ottawa's Wade Redden and Colorado's John-Michael Liles.
The biggest forward name available is Marian Hossa, who had 29 goals and 37 assists with Atlanta and Pittsburgh. Another possibility is Calgary's Daymond Langkow, who had 30 goals and 35 assists.
"We want a young free agent to fit in with our young core," Tallon said. "We'll be aggressive and committed to get the guys we need to get."
