I know you're not the only one with those thoughts. I don't know if it was a quote or a tweet but I remember a comment from him saying that his future plans absolutely involved the Chicago Blackhawks. Grain of salt, and all that.

The only detriment for Jahns (and Clendening, as well) is that the Hawks have 4 defensemen who probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon in 2, 4, 7, and 8. Only two other spots left, and if you're looking for big ice time in the NHL, you may not be finding it in Chicago.
No Oduya?

What is the Hawks record since acquiring him? Have they lost 20 games in the RS yet? If there is an under rated player on the Hawks its him, horrible brain shats here and there or not. The guy has been a stable defenseman.

It's a matter of his contract being up after next season, along with more important players.

It seems like a likely parting place, either he or Leddy are likely gone. And you'd kinda like to keep the younger guy who hopefully is playing better or than Johnny at that stage.

How is a top four defenseman not important?

This just might be a important year for Leddy, and to his credit, he has been playing pretty damn good as of late. A good problem to have.

Because mid twenties superstar top line centers and wingers are vastly more important than 34 yr old 4th defenders.

I love watching Oduya play and think he's been a fantastic addition to the Hawks. But he'll be on the verge of 34 when his current deal expires in the summer of 2015 and I just don't see them bringing him back. Combine that with the fact that both Toews and Kane's contracts are up for renewal after that season and I don't see how the Hawks keep him around.
