Bollig, 26, appeared in 11 games for the Blackhawks this season but did not register a point. The enforcer complied 40 PIM's and averaged 5:31 TOI per game.
Montador has not played an NHL game since March 27, 2012. Last season he had a total of five goals, nine assists and a plus-4 rating in 52 games. He will not dress against the Colorado Avalanche tonight.
With this move, the Blackhawks have decided to carry eight defenseman on the roster. Good move? Or bad move?
Joel Quenneville seem's to like the idea:
"Defense is a position where you love depth," Quenneville said. "I think this year we've utilized all six in the lineup over the course of a game where everybody gets more minutes than maybe in the past, a little bit more shared minutes. I think the more you get, the better you're going to play.
"I think the first seven (defensemen) we're playing to date are playing extremely well. To have to sit one out right now is always a tough decision. They're deserving of playing. We'll see with (Montador) working his way in is something we'll measure." [ESPN]
With the way Quenneville likes to rotate the lines, giving him another tool to throw in there might just drive every single fan crazy.

I kid.
Ummm, we seem to be doing fine without an older, injury prone player coming back and replacing a younger player with future potential.
Montador can go far far away too.
Mayers, although old, is still a better player than Bollig. No need for them both.
Oh, I will not argue that point that Mayers is a better player at this stage of his career. Can Bollig become that future player?
This was my exact thought. Lots of teams are always looking for veteran defensemen at the trade deadline.
They're both useless... at least Bollig can fight (sort of?) and brings a little bit of energy. In reality, this is a very minor move any way you look at it. The Hawks aren't losing much here, whether it was Mayers or Bollig as the odd man out.
He can fight, when the linesmen let him.
I think he is a good thrower. Has a great upper cut that seemingly a lot of guys don't seem to know about.
Im not a big fan of fights. At least the planned ones. Im not sure they fire up the team as much as people think. Sticking up for a teammate, sure go for it.
With his contract and concussion history?
Someone has to be willing. Given that FLA is last in defense, they might end up being our dance partners again.
Worst case scenerio place him on waivers and try to get him on the farm and if he gets claimed eat whatever you need to eat from his salary (unless the new CBA is all fancy and shit which I still don't understand).
You know... as much as I LOVE to suggest it and people question him...
The Hawks have the playoff berth in the bag already... maybe it's time to see what Beach can do?
Having Shaw and Sharp potentially out makes the callup that more important.... perfect audition for Beach.
Morin would probably be the "ideal" callup.
But the circumstances as it stands would let you believe that calling up Beach to see what he can do would be worth it.
Bet Frolik plays with Bolland and Kane even though it should be Stalberg getting the bump. 3rd line is fucked anyways without Shaw so mine aswell put Stalberg up in the second line on LW. That's what I would do anyways.
Carcillo's ice time will go up and the 3rd line will look different with whoever gets called up.
Good test for the coaching staff this one. Going to be a different look on Friday. Going to be very interesting.
Saad-Toews-Hossa
Carcillo-Bolland-Kane
Bickell-Kruger-Stalberg
Mayers-Pirri-Frolik
Something like that wouldn't surprise me. Right when you think you have depth...
Wouldn't surprise me to see them call up Smith either instead of Pirri and have a 4th line of Smith-Mayers-Frolik... I'd actually like that better.
mayers can play center and brookbank could remain a 4th line forward. might not even need a call up even though they have to.
just throwing it out there. im not a big fan of the shaw injury as it kills the 3rd line which has been amazing. I have enough confidence in kruger I suppose but he is no Shaw when it comes to aggressive offensive play. Dont get me wrong i like what Kruger has done this year as a shut down forward and on the PK.
I actually think its harder to recover from losing Shaw than Sharp. Crazy talk?
