“I used the 'N' word instead of calling him Trevor,” Vanbiesbrouck told CBC.com at the time. “I used it just not thinking.”

Yeah. (frank) that pile of poop. Vanbiesbrouck can (frank) off.

Smith, Pope, Hicketts, Saajarvi,Svechnikov, Cholowski, Hronek, Larsson, etc..

Are any of these guys going to pan out..none seem to be on the road to stardom..

Hronek and Svechnikov are the only real blue-chip prospects in the farm system at this point. Svech had an injury early in the season that hurt his point totals this season in GR. But they both look to be solid NHL players IF they continue to develop at their current rate (especially Hronek).

Just to give some context here. There are a few holes in this story...
