Here was Kenny Holland had to say http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2008/02 ... about.html and here's a view on the trade http://www.forecaster.ca/detnews/hockey ... &x_id=1109

Thanks for the links.
So, Holland can see Stuart as a #4 defensemen for us? I guess that means when everyone is healthy again, Stuart will be paired up with Kronwall, leaving Lilja, Chelios and Lebda to battle to fill the last two spots. Who do you think will be the one who gets left out?

Hopefully Lilja, and when Chelios needs rest Andreas can fill in

These two are virtually set:
Lidstrom/Rafalski
Kronwall/Stuart
Assuming Chelly has one of the other spots nailed down, then Lebda or Lilja would be my guess as to who plays beside him. Lebda would be useful because of his speed, given that Chelly isn't exactly quick these days. However, Lilja is bigger, more physical and blocks shots. You can really make a solid argument for either Lebda or Lilja to play next to Chelly.

Chelly is there for his grit and for his IQ the guy dosn't make too many mistakes. I love his passion for the game. How many 45 year olds you know that are still playing? or better yet doing as good as Chelly? I can't belive we got him so cheap from Chicago.
I think he is my 2nd favourite Wing now after Lidstrom (playing that is)
