Giving up Johns, is a bit of a blow, as the 'Hawks, realistically, need to fill 3 D slots, I am not sure that bringing Oduya back is the best option...TVR will take one of the slots, Johns was anticipated for one of the other, and Bowman has already dumped Paliotta and Dahlbeck as D prospects...so the organizational Defense depth has taken a hit, with fewer pieces left to offer someone taking Bickell off of the 'Hawks hands, and now there are holes in the NHL roster, where the solutions have been dealt away, as the 'Hawks still have to dump salaries.

Ville Pokka has to be one of the guys as a lock for one of the spot on the Hawks next year then. At least thats how it appears.
