Moving Campbell
According to the Toronto Sun, the Blackhawks tried to unload overpriced defenseman Brian Campbell on the Senators, offering to take Dany Heatley in return, but Ottawa wouldn't bite.
Too good to be true, of course, but a good effort from GM Dale Tallon, nonetheless.
What Tallon might want to consider now is turning Campbell into a No. 2 center - Dave Bolland is a solid No. 3 - or even a winger, where Campbell can use his speed and skating to the Hawks' advantage.
What the Hawks ought to do is stop pretending Campbell can play defense, or that he cares enough to play defense. He didn't in Buffalo or San Jose and he doesn't here.
On the other hand, Campbell could be a point-a-game player up front, and if Joel Quenneville can get him to backcheck (he did it with Martin Havlat) that type of Campbell would be a valuable player and, with his speed, one of the most exciting in the league.
