Glad they released Hoffman from his PTO, give Lavoie a real shot at the team. Can't see Hamblin making it, and Philp will have to keep impressing to displace Ryan. PK already requires a bunch of adjusting with Ceci moved out and Desharnais not resigned, I think they need to start with Ryan in the mix.
And Josh Brown should not see NHL ice unless there is a lot of injurizing happening this year. Stetcher on the 3rd pair, and I would rather see Gleason as the 7th D.
