could be...he has a bit more to his frame than nylander...just needs to add some muscle and from what I've read, Minnesota is a good place to do so

Pach, do you think C.J. Smith has a chance of making the roster instead of Bailey or Baptiste? I have zero recollection of him playing 2 games last year; i must have checked out. His college stats are good
- jcragcrumple

could very well, but I think one of bailey or baptiste makes it before him...I had Rodrigues as a dark-horse last year and I think he's in the running as well...may even overtake those two and smith...he's come along nicely, has skills and thinks the game well

C.J. and Bailey have the upperhand for that 2LW spot being that they shoot left. (i'm really high on the 3rd line of Pouliot-Larsson-Pominville)

Baptiste has the highest goal scoring potential, but he's a RW. I still don't see how this shakes out yet. I've heard that Okposo has played some LW, but i don't think you mess with his spot.

if i'm not mistaken, bailey was being groomed to play left wing

Huh, yeah you're right. For some reason I thought Bailey was always a LW. I still see Baptiste as the NHL goal scorer over Bailey, but we have an imbalance. I guess we'll have to wait and see

As long as the following is not a part of his diet, he may actually gain the strength to be awesome in the pros:

He's inline for a nice payday next year, i doubt he forgoes 3 years of salary to pick a different team. That could be almost $6m in lost earnings. Also, it wouldn't be as bad as it could be:

Compensatory Picks: If a team does not sign their first-round pick within two years, they will be awarded a compensatory pick in the Draft immediately following. The pick will be in the 2nd round, equal to the selection number of the unsigned player. All other teams' selections move back one spot.
