Blackhawks lose Ladd

With all the trades the Blackhawks continue to do, it almost feels like the Hawks want to start fresh in the next season. It looks like Andrew Ladd will be joining Dustin Byfuglien, Ben Eager and Brent Sopel on the Atlanta Thrashers. In return, Chicago will be getting Ivan Vishnevsky and a second-round draft pick, pending a trade call. With all this trading going on, it begs the question who will be left?

It is also being reported that despite Burish expressing interest in staying with the Blackhawks, he has signed a deal to play for the Dallas Stars with a 2-year contract. Colin Fraser has also signed a 2-year deal with Edmonton.
