Fantasy Analysis
O'Donnell is not flashy, but he is talented enough to get the job done on the blue line. Rarely does he turn up a minus in the plus/minus category, and even though he'll turn 40 years old on October 13, age shouldn't be a big issue, for what he has lost in speed is countered by his hockey smarts and veteran leadership on the ice.

03/31/2012 23:09 Blackhawks secure playoff spot in West
Brent Seabrook scored at 8:19 of the third period, and the Chicago Blackhawks clinched a playoff spot Saturday night, beating the Nashville Predators 5-4 after blowing a 4-0 lead.
O'Donnell was signed as a free agent to give the blue line some more experience as he enters his 17th season with the NHL with his eighth club. He turns 40 in October so there is a good debate whether his minutes will stay steady or will decrease as the season goes along. (Updated 8/16/11)
