Stan Bowman added to his collection of defenseman in Rockford with his most recent acquisition – Nick Boynton formerly of the Anaheim Ducks. In return the Ducks receive future considerations. In forty-two games he had one goal and six assists, and Boynton was reassigned to the Manitoba Moose where he played nine games with four assists. He was immediately sent to Rockford.
Boynton is big and physical, and is nothing more then a third pairing defenseman. His contract is up at the end of the season. Bowman’s stockpiling of defensemen in Rockford intrigues my inner conspiracy theorist. However, if there is nothing there, at least the move creates space between Jassen Cullimore and a roster spot on the Blackhawks.
