It's going to be real interesting. GM's haven had much to do lately as far as the NHL team is concerned. I wonder if there is going to be some player movement before the first game.

I wouldn't be surprised. You have to figure these guys have talked shop and kicked ideas around

The way fans - let alone fantasy GM's - talk trade all the time, you have to be right. Nothing else to do the last few months.

I would flip Wellwood and Feds. I also say we give Leighton the opening night start.

This is more filthy than Homer Simpson's undies after the Chili Cook Off

Wellwood? The guy who has been a healthy AHL scratch at points, on 3rd line over a vet like Fedotenko?

Wellwood is a question mark to even be on the team, let alone the 3rd line.
And are you serious about Leighton as the opening night starter in goal?

So many ways to respond, but I'll keep it simple.

Sarcasm.

I was hoping so. But it didn't come across that way.

See above post for clarification.

I do like this idea though... I'll take Leight's salary to sit on a bench for 48 games.

Fingers crossed for Mesz to be healthy enough to play bottom pair minutes.

My bad, haven't caught up on my sarcasm yet

Cloutier the Oilers blogger is saying Pronger is coming to training camp but has not been cleared yet?? Any chance of that happening?? Anybody know as I thought he was done.

Bobrovsky 17Wins 3 losses and 3 shutouts .928 save% Just coming into his own! The Blue Jackets are giving him the chance to be their number one. I say we should have kept him and let him develop, but that is hindsight.

I think you'll see Grossmann stay with Coburn (stretch drive and playoff shutdown pairing), and Schenn with Timonen.
