Thomas Townsend: Preseason Cancellation...on to the Regular Season

So, who is the last to go? Is it Dubi? Can the CBJ eat his salary while he is in Cleveland, or if they release him?

Who is out there waiting to pick up some of our D-Men for help up front?

Dubi is hurt and it could be serious, possibly even LTIR serious. If that's the situation, hopefully insurance covers about 80% and it's better than a buyout.

I think the big story is the cbj loosing and pretty badly to NJ on an NHL roster, they have a pop gun offence , goal tending seems encouraging ....

Not as much they lost - more the way they played. Pretty disjointed - looked flat, bad passing, no push with the offense.

Everyone is hoping the goaltending can maintain at an NHL average level - that the defense will be the strength - and everyone else hits their career high in points, goals, etc., to fill offense lost during the summer.

As I've said all summer - this season is a learning curve for a lot of players, and there will be growing pains. Also - all the youngsters, and imports from EU are not used to playing an 82 game season. So they will begin to hit the wall around 50-60 games.

Of course, Murray doesn't have that problem as he usually won't play much more than that.
