Hamhuis and Russell have different strengths, but I don't know if Hamhuis is head and shoulders above a guy like Russell anymore. In 2011 i would agree, but its 2016 now, and Hamhuis has lost a step. Regardless, I doubt Chicago is scared of Dallas even if they dont add any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SvenBae Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 So Hamhuis said he'd be interested if he could resign in the summer with Vancouver. Sounds good to me Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches5 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't know much about Pokka but I know that aside from the top 3 dman on Chicago they have absolutely nothing and Pokka if he were any spectacular why wouldn't he be playing with Chicago? 1st + Pokka for Hamhuis would be fine but throwing Vrbata too? Basically we're getting nothing for Vrbata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas adding Hamhuis and Chicago doing nothing could be a significant shift in a head to head series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they are looking for an experienced defenseman for depth. You know, a top 4 guy.Unless you are suggesting that Hamhuis could replace Keith or Seabrook on the top pairing...which i doubt.

Apple Juice Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Wow it's been so long ago that I forgot Vrbata was a Blackhawk before. Seems like Vrbata has a knack of playing for teams that consistenly don't do well in the playoffs, or just not making it at all..... I mean, aside from Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are looking for a top 4 LHD and the only 2 that are available are Hamhuis and Russell. I would put Hamhuis at the top of their list but I am sure they will happily take Russell at a discounted price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Define 'better'. Russell is better at blocking shots and getting in on offensive plays. Hamhuis eats a lot of minutes and is arguably superior defensively, but that is negated by the fact that Chicago plays a puck possession game, so they would want to generate offense with the puck, not sit back and defend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
