And those most likely to join #Isles camp from #BPT, if healthy: Hamonic/Niederreiter/Ullstrom/Cizikas/Ness/Donovan/Nelson/Poulin.

Isles will be assessing D futures far more carefully with big decisions coming around bend which might be why Reinhart to be in camp

Reinhart will not make team but might garner invite, per source. Chances he makes team this year? "Non"

Isles website has a schedule starting with Jan 15 at home vs Rags. Im confused when they talk about "camp". What kinda camp are they really having? Its not like they're playing pre season games. Its gonna be basically on and off ice workouts. How will that determine whether or not someone stays are goes....?

I think they are pretty sure what the team will look like. I think the 13 forwards will be Tavares, Moulson, Boyes, Okposo, Bailey, Neilsen, Grabner (he might be injured per Staple), Reasoner, Martin, Cizikas, Joenssu, Boulton and maybe Nino.
I think the defense is Streit, Viznovsky, Hamonic, MacDonald, Carkner, Ness and Donovan...Hopefully they bring in a top 6 forward and top 6 defenseman prior to the season which would keep Ness and Nino at Bridgeport.

If the isles second line is Okposo/Nielson/Grabner im gonna be ticked off.

If Boyes is on the first line, you're probably right what the second line will be. Grabner could be injured, so they would probably bring up Ullstrom. I hope they bring in a forward and keep Nino and Strome down until next year.
Yes, he is #20. I meant DP is going to "start" (hence the quotation marks) as the backup, until he eventually gets in for a period and spontaneously combusts.
Just stay there already. I'm tired of this guy...it's not like he'd be the difference between another lottery pick and being a contender this year anyway. Go away, please.

I'm now at the point I was at regarding the lockout. I don't give a flying (frank) if he comes and plays or not. Have fun flying on those super safe KHL-team charter planes. If he decides to come, cool, nice surprise. If not, oh (frank)ing well who cares.
I guess it would kinda suck that we wasted a 2nd round pick though.
While I'd love to keep Lee I'm in no mood for any funny business from him. I would trade him in a package. Isles are going to trade some of the kids anyway.
So what's our D going to be like if Hamonic is not ready? If it's a concussion, I hope they don't rush him back or anything. Streit, AMac, Carkner are the definites. Captain Drama Visnovsky if he reports is 4. Hamonic obviously has a spot when he's set to go, but until then...? Bridgeport's D is currently Donovan, Wishart, Landry, Ness, McIver, Hill, Jackson. Cantin is hurt, deHaan is out for the season, and, of course, Hamonic is out. I really can only see Donovan getting a spot. I mean, I guess Wishart takes the extra spot until Hamonic's back? If Vis doesn't report, then there's another spot open too. I think they're going to have to bring someone in...I'd love it to be a top-four player somehow and then everyone gets shuffled back one spot on the depth chart. But it'll probably be a couple of camp invites or something like that. Sound about right? Maybe Reinhart has more of a chance than we think, at least for a 9-game look, if it turns out Hamonic and Vis are out...
Forwards, I figure:
Tavares, Moulson, Okposo, Nielsen, Bailey, Grabner, Boyes, Martin, Reasoner and Boulton have spots locked. Am I missing anyone? I think Joensuu is hurt still, so he won't figure in immediately. That leaves two open spots. Of all the Bridgeport forwards, I think Cizikas is the most NHL ready. Who else do they go with? Nino? Ullstrom (hasn't really put the puck in the net much this year)? Strome? Sign one or two of the FAs still out there or make a trade?
like a baby.
