Comments for Cam Barker to Minnesota for Kim Johnsson and Nick Leddy at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Thu, 23 May 2013 09:17:19 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2579-cam-barker-to-minnesota-for-kim-johnsson-and-nick-leddy#comment-4514 Ovechkin Malkin Barker A year older than Crosby... Barker is young and interesting, but one has to wonder, despite a great pedigree, the great body and all the tools... if he's ever going to make it as an IMPACT guy. Thus, at first glance, it seems a disappointing return for the Hawks. Upon review, oh heck, take the 1st & the steady and try and win the cup this year! Then, look to retool in the summer. There's a chance Johnsson decides he likes the Windy City, and he certainly won't be commanding monster dollars for his next contract! - Jocular Hockey Manager Fri, 12 Feb 2010 15:46:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2579-cam-barker-to-minnesota-for-kim-johnsson-and-nick-leddy#comment-4506 I would imagine that another beneficiary will be Brian Campbell, since Quenneville had very recently indicated that he was going to use Barker more often on the PP. - Santo aka Ross10019 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:14:47 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/2579-cam-barker-to-minnesota-for-kim-johnsson-and-nick-leddy#comment-4505 Nice win-win trade. Chicago gets the type of player it needs for a playoff run and his expiring deal is exactly what they want this summer. Leddy is more of a long-term project which is fine with the Hawks given their current cap situation. Barker gives Minny a young offensive dman that can replace Burns' ineffectiveness alongside Zidlicky (until he's dealt). - Eric Daoust Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:52:08 +0100
