[Maverick]

Interesting swap.

It's official.

Interesting swap. I like this deal for Chicago, Ruutu has been underachieving and and can't stay healthy.

Ladd has also been underachieving but I think he compliments the forward group Chicago has nicely. Skille needs some more seasoning, so they can wait for him to develop. Meanwhile, Ladd is a big, big body who'll bang and open up space for a guy like Kane.

The panel at TSN said it was official more than 10 minutes ago.

Early in his career I thought Ruutu was going to be a big time NHL player. Obviously I was wrong. I guess him being injury prone didn't help his cause.
