Per Chris Johnston, David Rundblad dealt to the Hawks for a 2nd rounder.
Looking around elsewhere to confirm.

What is the point of Brookstank with Rundblad here now?

Just throwing this out for discussion, but maybe Rundblad was brought in for an extra piece for a Kesler move?

would be quite a statement.
Still not sure we should lose Bickell if he is the only one that is going to check hard in the playoffs.

Hawks piss away a 2nd round pick on David Rundblad.
Move along, nothing to see.

I assume it is their own pick and not one that was traded for ... so if that is the case- it would be a late round pick in what has been called a shallow draft - and if it is really that interesting, I imagine they would find a way to get a draft choice via trade on the day.
Basically all this kid has to be is the same at Roszival, that guy they lost to TB via waivers, or Brookbank. It isn't that big of an ask really (relatively speaking).
It isn't exactly Phil Esposito for a used puck bag territory at this point.

Rundblad has a lot of skill, way too early to call this move a bust yet.
Where he fits right now I have no clue. The guy doesn't play a lick of defense, isn't a good skater, and has a resume outside the NHL of a legendary player. That being said, his passing skills and vision are off the charts. Like Brian Campbell level without, you know, the elite skating. The value was too much for Stan to pass up, I get that. But he sure as hell isn't a Q type. Didn't we just trade a second line center who fits that bill already?

Hawks painted themselves into a corner when Bowman severely overpaid Crawf & Bickell.
2nd round pick for fucking David Rundblad? Really?
Makes zero sense unless Leddy or Opooya are moved in the summer.

The interesting thing with Rundblad is he moves from an organization where defensemen don't have much, if any, involvement on the offensive end in Phoenix to a team where the defensemen are encouraged to jump up into the rush. There were quotes from Roszival, who made the same move, about how much different it was to play in Chicago. Perhaps that style will better suit Rundblad and they'll get more out of him than Phoenix did.
But I agree that it certainly creates a logjam on D now. I don't see anyone in the Hawks D pairings that'd I'd bench in favor of Rundblad. But when you consider that the guy is just 22 years old, it's not hard to make the assumption that this is a longer-term investment. We'll see.
