Chicago Blackhawks: 3 Ways To Bolster Defense

The Chicago Blackhawks are top heavy on defense. Duncan Keith, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Brent Seabrook are all some of the top defensemen in the NHL. The problem is the depth defensemen. Trevor Daley is not Johnny Oduya and the Blackhawks have major questions on the bottom pairing.

Chicago has tried Trevor van Riemsdyk, David Rundblad and Viktor Svedberg through the first three games of the season, but only TVR seems to be a safe bet to stay in the lineup. Michal Rozsival could be skating with the Hawks as early as next week, but he is 37 and coming off a fractured ankle.
