Meet the Chicago Blackhawks' Speedy New Forward Viktor Stalberg
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="slot"><img src="/images/pixel.gif"></span><strong><a href="http://www.committedindians.com" target="_self">Viktor Stalberg</a></strong>, F</p> <p style="text-align: center;">6&rsquo;3&nbsp; 210&nbsp; &nbsp;DOB: 01/17/1986</p> <p>Stalberg was acquired by the <a href="http://committedindians.com" target="_self">Chicago&nbsp;Blackhawks</a> this summer in the trade that sent <a href="http://committedindians.com" target="_self">Kris Versteeg</a> to the <a href="/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto Maple Leafs</a>, and is being viewed as (hopefully) his immediate replacement.</p> <p>Drafted in the 6th round (161st overall) by <a href="/toronto-maple-leafs">Toronto</a> in 2006, Stalberg was one of the Leafs top prospects entering last year. In 2008-09 the Swedish-born forward posted 46 points (24 G, 22 A) in 39 games at the University of Vermont (where he was on the&nbsp;Hockey East All-Academic Team in 2007-08)&nbsp;before signing with the Leafs. He appeared in two playoffs games for the Leafs&rsquo; AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, and tallied one assist.</p> <p>Last year Stalberg began the year with the Marlies and posted 33 points (12 G, 21 A) in 39 games in the AHL, but eventually saw time with the Leafs. In 40 <a href="/nhl">NHL</a> games last year, Stalberg scored nine goals and added five assists in 14:13 in average ice time. He was minus-13 for the NHL&nbsp;season, and added 30 penalty minutes in that brief action. Stalberg also contributed 64 hits and 18 blocked shots to the Leafs in those 40 games.</p> <p>More than anything else, Stalberg is known for his speed. His acceleration is elite, and he&rsquo;s described has having a good shot and as a &ldquo;natural sniper.&rdquo; He&rsquo;s effective on the forecheck and plays hard. He is less than four months older than Versteeg, five inches taller and 30 pounds heavier (according to the official roster). If the Hawks place him on a line with either Patrick Kane or Marian Hossa as the opposite wing, Stalberg could be set for a big season.</p>College Football: Team-by-Team Big Ten Power Rankings Post Week One
