Lets evaluate this after we see more than preseason games. I think if we have a stronger showing in the faceoff circle it will be less of a problem.

But what about all the asset managementing?!?!

Flames look awful. I can't believe hockeynews had them ahead of us.

Brutal! Goes to say we are definitely trending in the wrong direction when guys like Gio, Brodie, Bennet, Tkachuk, Brouwer, could not make the team. Also probably the reason why JG is holding out. Monahan finally got a shot to play his first game of the pre season last night as well but from what i hear MGMT are not sure if he will make the team either!

Don't forget Darren Pang...I mean Brian Elliott in net.

Benning on 1040 this morning and gets asked about Jake and sounds like there's a good chance that he goes to Utica. Conjecture of course but lots of soundbites. He sounds like Skille and Ruutu are going to get a last chance to make the team Sat night against the Oilers.

I hope they don't sign any of the PTO's. Give one of the kids a shot.

Could it be that both Willie and Benning are feeling some heat about their jobs and therefore getting a good start to the season?

Any further cuts announced this morning?

#CBJ C Pierre-Luc Dubois, No. 3 pick in June, is not expected to dress in Pittsburgh Saturday. Have to believe he's headed back to junior.

I'm sure they are but signing fringe players at the twilight of their careers won't be saving anyone's ass, IMO.

I was referring to the Canucks, you know, the team we cheer for.

I'd like to see the kids too, I wonder if they're thinking that there's less risk having Skille and Ruutu playing 4th line minutes for the first 15 games. The devil you know vs you don't know.

I'm confused, first it was guaranteed that pedan would not be placed on waivers and then followed up with another guarantee that he wouldn't clear.

Happy he's still in the system and hopefully he can still improve his game.

I agree, although I do think Skills has earned a contract somewhere.
