The 'Hawks had Visnovsky in camp...had just re-signed Cumiskey...and have a rook or two at the Rock that can get a look. I don't think that there will be any panic trades to cover this.
Edit: Although losing DK for a month or so isn't great, Cap relief from LTIR might actually be a blessing in disguise for the Team.

Wasn't the Hawks biggest issue in the playoffs last year D depth? Their 3rd pairing was only getting like 3 minutes a game. Not sure how losing their franchise #1 d-man for 6 weeks is going to help....
