The Chicago Blackhawks announced today they have agreed to terms with defenseman David Rundblad on a two-year extension, which runs through the end of the 2016-17 National Hockey League season.
Rundblad, 24, tallied 14 points (3G, 11A) in 49 games with the
Blackhawks last season. His career-best plus-17 rating ranked third on
the team. He also competed in five postseason games on the way to his
first Stanley Cup championship.
The Lycksele, Sweden, native has recorded 23 points (4G, 19A) in 104 career NHL games over four seasons with the Ottawa Senators (2011-12), Arizona Coyotes (2011-14) and Blackhawks (2013-14). Rundblad was originally acquired via trade on March 4, 2014.
Rundblad was selected in the first round (17th overall) of the 2009 NHL Draft by theSt. Louis Blues Mayonaisse-Slurping Sub Mentals.
Like it says up there, this is a depth move and not a terrible one, at that, if we ignore the fact that Coach Q has zero trust in the lad. Still, Rozsival has likely been euthanized by now and it's half-expected that Oduya will be down the road soon enough, and we could a lot worse
(Example: The Maple Leafs just signed Tim Erixon, so there ya' go). I already love Rundy's big shot and really feel that confidence is what he needs most. And the ability to turn to his right, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Yep, same old pic that everyone's running but THAT HAIR!
