Bring him back?

"Ladd's two-way game also lends to a lot of versatility, giving head coach Joel Quenneville plenty of options when it comes to using Ladd. He can be used in all situations, including on the power play and penalty kill. Quenneville has repeatedly expressed his appreciation for versatile players this season, so the addition of Ladd would certainly be met with acceptance by Chicago's bench boss.

The good news for the Blackhawks is that Ladd's cap hit is within their affordable price range. Because salaries are prorated throughout the season in the NHL, Chicago has over $4 million in cap space as its disposal for the trade deadline. That means any deal for Ladd would really only require the movement of a smaller cap hit such as Brandon Mashinter, who could easily be sent to Rockford to keep the Hawks cap compliant."

He'd instantly plug that 1st line LW spot and would all but guarentee another championship apearence for the hawks. Can't see any reason why it shouldn't happen, really...

We were talking about this in another thread. I think any of us would agree that Ladd is a good fit for this team. The issue is making a deal that the Jets would want and getting him in under the cap. It'd be a decent assumption that the Jets are shopping him, considering he's got an expiring deal on a team likely not playoff-bound. But I have not seen that confirmed anywhere.
