Blackhawks D Johnny Oduya will hit unrestricted free agency: Report (Puck Daddy)

Johnny Oduya and his amazing abs are probably leaving Chicago.

ESPN Chicago’s Scott Powers reports Oduya will check out unrestricted free agency when the market officially opens July 1. Does this mean he won't return to the salary cap crunched Blackhawks? Probably, unless he takes a massive discount.

Good for Oduya, who ranked No. 4 on our defenseman free agent power rankings. He’s going to get a good chunk of change.

Maybe from the Edmonton Oilers, who need a defenseman? Though, The Hockey Writers indicates Edmonton should steer clear of the 33-year-old.
